. . . with liberty and justice for all.

yippeee! the california supreme court has overturned their law against gay marriage and ordered it into effect in 30 days----the homophobic wingnuts (which is not entirely redundant) are going on about the court usurping the will of the people, blah, blah, blah, overlooking the facts that the legislature voted for gay marriage not once but twice and that gov. arnie supports the rule and is against the anti-gay constitutional amendment that may go on the ballot this november----whatever, they won't be able to stop a ton of marriages between now and then, and not just in the state, as was the case in mass., but allowing couples from all over---and it was a republican court that made the ruling---and no mealy-mouth platitudes from the big people either----pelosi said,

"I welcome the California Supreme Court’s historic decision. I have long fought against discrimination and believe that the State Constitution provides for equal treatment for all of California’s citizens and families, which today’s decision recognizes. I commend the plaintiffs from San Francisco for their courage and commitment. I encourage California citizens to respect the Court’s decision, and I continue to strongly oppose any ballot measure that would write discrimination into the State Constitution. Today is a significant milestone for which all Californians can take pride."

Between all that and the republican party freaking out over three consecutive losses in special elections for the u.s. house, well, it's enough to make one think that the wheel has finally turned-------
