[lbo-talk] And the Lesbians Shall Lead Us

[Nathan Newman]

Yes, you can amend the constitution to gut the equal protection claims that
this suit might raise.   If these folks win in any federal court, I am sure
a constitutional amendment will be passed and no gay marriage will be
possible in this country for another generation.  Having helped energize
the religious right across the country by the decision in Massachusetts,
this kind of litigation can be a wonderful tool for Karl Rove to keep his
troops mobilized over the next four years.

This is a great effort.  Can you amend the constitution to make it
contradict itself?  I suppose you might be able to, since the Great
Document
originally said black people = 3/5.

Any lawyers out there with a knowledge of this issue?  What are the
plaintiffs' chances?

If they're good, I'll file the same suit here in Oregon.  I'm not gay, but
I
still demand my right to choose my next (oh-so-lucky) spouse.

Nathan won't like it, but heck, his method imploded,
so we need a Plan B.
