THAT sure didn't take long.

Looks President Flightsuit and his Religious Reich buddies are a little peeved by Massachusetts.

Right. Judges don't get to define marriage. Only religious freakoid slime-licking purulent wastes of cellular matter on an intellectual plateau with, say, decaying goat cheese do.

Right. THIS has to take precedence over getting our men and women out of Iraqandrollallnight right along with investigating You Know Who's tits.

November can't get here fast enough.

Ok... so lemme get this right?... The courts rule it's unconstitutional, and Shrub is pissed at the courts for writing law?

Excusssssssssssssse ME? I thought that constitutionally that was the whole POINT of having the courts system separate from the government? As a safeguard against the government acting against it's own constitution? Oh that's rich!

And... cirrect me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a requirement of 48 states or something for quorum on a constitutional changes? Didn't they try that with flag burning.... and no WAY they could get 48 states to agree on it, or the wording? And he wants to try this with a BIG issue, like this one? How long have they been bickering over the ERA?? Aren't the elections in November?

Sooooooo George W. is pissing in the wind?

If I recall correctly from the failed EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT for women (can you tell I'm still pissed?), you need 31 states to pass a constitutional amendment. Last time I checked, judges don't generally rule arbitrarily. They apply the law and legal precedents in their rulings. This is not the definition of the word "arbitrary". Once again, Mr. Bush proves that he was not paying attention in school. Too bad there was no "No Child Left Behind" program when *he* was in school. He was obviously left WAY behind.

If you're still not pissed off enough at Bush, check out what I just posted in my LJ today. more outrageousness
