Now can the neocons quit wasting our time and money and get some damn work done already?
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

...and finally accept that the ACA is the law of the land.  :big grin:

And the roadblocks to same-sex marriage just fell as well!

The neocons are not having a good week in the high court...seems that pesky Constitution keeps interfering with their agenda!   :biggrin:

WorldNetDaily founder and editor Joseph Farah issued an emergency plea to governors today asking them to consider seceding from the union if the Supreme Court strikes down state bans on same-sex marriage.

"We need a Promised Land. We need an Exodus strategy," Farah wrote. "Are there any governors or legislatures out there among the 50 states willing to secede to offer a refuge for the God-fearing?"

If not, Farah says that foreign nations that prohibit same-sex marriage should prepare for "a pilgrimage by millions of Americans" fleeing marriage equality.

If this country was divided in half, one side liberal, one side conservative.....the liberal side would be screwed in a few short years.  Just my critically applied logic being utilized to derive upon this claim.

I'm still wondering, since they keep calling it a constitutional right, just exactly where in the constitution that right is addressed. Was there an amendment I missed or something? I mean, I could care less but it keeps being referred to as a constitutional right.

The 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. (For starters)

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Then there is:

The Fifth Amendment creates a number of rights relevant to both criminal and civil legal proceedings.  In criminal cases, the Fifth Amendment guarantees the right to a grand jury, forbids "double jeopardy," and protects against self-incrimination.  It also requires that "due process of law" be part of any proceeding that denies a citizen "life, liberty or property" and requires the government to compensate citizens when it takes private property for public use.

And that has what to do with either ACA or same sex marriage?
