The Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1

Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of 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.


You know what? I think we devil-bent gays could really win this one. We are federaled up.

Look at the last sentence. How can any judge read this and say, “Yeah, but not for the gays.”

This is our Roe v. Wade. I love that it’s called Perry v. Schwarzenegger. How can you get upset about gay marriage when anytime you say Perry v. Schwarzenegger you kind of giggle?

This landmark case will get kicked up to the Supreme Court. And one does think it could pass 5-4 and this moronia will be over from sea to shining sea.

Until then, I remain,

Adam’s Recognized-by-the-State-of-California-Domestic-Partner: Separate, unequal, but living like married folk anyway.

(And yes—you can tell a second grader about a prince marrying a prince. But only tell them that about 1 out of every 120 times you are talking about princes. With princesses, well, you can tell them that princesses always go through a princess-on-princess stage: during or after a bad hetero marriage, while at Vassar or Smith, or any other time she damn well feels like it. Marry on, sisters.)

I think it's the phrase "abridge the privileges" that really says it all. Justices Scalia, Thomas, Alito and What's his name, the Chief, please take note.

The constitution can't be applied to some and not others, at least not in a supreme court case. Bring it!! We'll win it.

Still, it would be good if one of the five musketeers retired before it came to court.
