kyburgLast word on the Prop 8 front - they're taking it Federal.
As in, you can't do that on a state level - it conflicts with the Federal level, with regards to discrimination.
Which, if you recall - hasn't been exactly receptive to the whole idea.
...
Anyone besides me think is a Bad Idea?
Like, the SCOTUS probably won't even see the case?
But the stakes couldn't be any more juicy - they win it there, it's automatically everywhere, New York, Neeeeew Yaaaaahrk.
*sighs*
Things remain harder than they need to be, nobody is really looking hard enough at this to see it means less government, not more and I can't see where it's changed/threatned me in the least. I mean, 18,000 cases already exist and I don't know any of them (except George, and that's at a significant remove).
Going home now.
