Hand of the Law Comes Down Hard

Separate But Equal the Law of the Land Once Again in California

I can legislate the right of your kids to marry at the ballot box at any time.

I wonder what else I can legislate with my organizing skills and a clipboard?

How about “Marriage is only recognized between residents of Tulare County and Mormons?”

Bonus Quiz (in case you think I am joking):

Which US Supreme Court Justice has written this?

“To the argument . . . that a majority may not deprive a minority of its constitutional right, the answer must be made that while this is sound in theory, in the long run it is the majority who will determine what the constitutional rights of the minorities are.”

    Smart! Knowing how to look things up and discern truth from lies is more than half the battle!

    You win a chance to quiz the Mayor who tells me he is a history buff to see if he knows the answer :)
