Wet Tuesday
May. 26th, 2009 09:35 pmFirst, thanks to everyone who has sent well-wishes to Tess. She has a very slight limp this evening, but is doing fine otherwise. I predict she'll be back to completely normal within two or three days. Six months ago, after a hoof "adjustment" she was really limping, and holding that foot up pitifully, but had forgotten about it in two days time. This doesn't look nearly as traumatic, thank goodness. She let us examine her foot and medicate it tonight, without any fuss, and then went right back to eating her dinner.
Now, the topic of the day is the sheer inconsistency and boot-licking cowardice of California's supreme court justices. However, everyone else has already been ranting about that. I'll just say that they've created inconsistencies so huge that even the US Supreme Court will be hard pressed to find a way to let things stand in California as they are. Approximately 18,000 same sex couples remain "married" under the law, and that cannot be nullified or rescinded, yet new marriages will not be recognized. In essence, they have said that in California, the majority is allowed to do whatever it wants to the minority, and there is no way to stop it. That cannot stand.
California, you are about to be shown just how incredibly brainless your voters are, that they believed the pure hate BS that was being shoved at them by the religious right. When states like Iowa and New Jersey can recognize gay marriages without a big fuss, yet California (which probably has the largest gay population of any state in the union) somehow can't get it's act together to say no to the bigots, just who looks like a fool? Even Colorado's courts rejected efforts by their state's right wing to abridge the human rights of gays by popular vote years ago. Yet California's justices are so lily-livered that they can't stand up for what is right.
