1. Ugly truth.

He could have gone further with his statement but I don't know if it would have been politically smart to do so. He took a bold leap as it is.

2. civil rights aren't a states rights issue.

typical limited hangout by a typical go-along-to-get-along politician.

3. kick n rec

4. The U.S. Supreme Court will take care of it, just like they did in Loving v Virginia

5. Loving v Virginia was a decision of the great Warren Court, which

did so much to protect our rights:

Abington v Schempp
Brown v Board
Griswold v Connecticut
Loving v Virginia
Miranda v Arizona
New York Times v Sullivan
Tinker v Des Moines

But I am afraid that Court disappeared early in the Nixon era. And since Bush v Gore, we cannot even count on the Court's token nod towards stare decises -- as shown, in particular, by Citizens United v. FEC

7. And it only took 43 years.

woo hoo

9. With Todays Court?

Are you sure if gay marriage made its way to SCOTUS they wouldn't up hold the states rights to discriminate? I am not so sure.
If America keeps President Obama, if the Senate can get a Democrat supermajority and more conservative that liberal judges leave during the next four years then I feel the outcome would be better.

6. It's a good thing Lincoln didnt think the states should decide about slavery. nm

8. was mostly to shut up the

states rights Republicans really.

10. C'mon, you're supposed to be bleating about how "historic" it is.

Though I still don't see why. Wasn't that Obama's position all along? A politician reiterates his same old position with slightly sexier language (and no actual action implied at all) in an election season, and suddenly it's 'historic'?
