I was mostly referring to the implications on taxation and the fact that lots of people, straight or not, have a wealth threshold for potential mates. I'd rather get married on the moon than in America, just because some people out there are deluded enough to think they're wielding actual power when they demand paperwork from people who obviously have better priorities.

I shoulda thought o' that :duh:

Who said I have a problem with states rights? What I have a problem with is inconsistency, such as being all for states rights when it comes to issues that you think the feds are wrong on, but cheer-leading federal supremacy when the states do things you don't like. I also have a problem with willful obtuseness.

Prosecutorial discretion is absolute and unreviewable in this nation. A state (or the federal government) can decline to bring charges for any or no reason. This is a cornerstone of our judicial system and enshrined in over 200 years of case law.

So i ask again. What is your problem with states rights?

Point out where I demonstrate personally having a problem with states rights; I'll wait.

It is really sad that she doesn't realize all she is doing is showing how ignorant she is. For her to think that what she thinks in her own head is the correct way and to think that everyone else should think the same way is the height of arrogance and stupidity.

Did anyone else think the music Huckersterbee had playing at the rally after her release was really cheesy?

The Huckster didn't get permission to use Eye Of The Tiger, which is why he's in trouble.
If you get a chance to watch footage of the revival/rally put on for the clerk upon her release, listen to the music blaring overhead. It really sounds corny!

Not all issues are the same. Civil rights are far more important then whether someone smokes a J.

Rights are rights.
Rights that don't mean s**t to one person do mean something to another.
