Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

I am puzzled how 4 justices could find DOMA constitutional. This law was specifically designed to discriminate against a class of citizens against the wishes of their state. But, I guess the Bowers v. Hardwick ruling would have confused me as well since that scotus decision was even more specific by outlawing sodomy in same sex participants but allowing it in hetero partners.

I have no idea why anyone thought DOMA wasn't a violation of the Full Faith & Credit Clause of the Constitution. What happened to strict construction of that section of the Constitution?“Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.”

Seriously, fuck this guy.

There is probably no better barometer of my journey from being a solid (severe?) conservative to...well, whatever I am today...than my changing opinion of Justice Scalia and the quality of his jurisprudence."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

Scalia and Dick Chenney are the two people that have done the most during my lifetime to ruin the parts of America that I love"You know what's wrong with America?

Christie vetoed legislation that would legalize same sex marriage in NJ and has said that he'd do the same again.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostMaybe, but I'm trying to figure out what Dick Cheney could have ruined that he loved. Cheney had nothing whatsoever to do with DOMA. He's an absolute piker when compared to the present administration in terms of limitation of personal freedoms, destroying whistleblowers, and domestic spying. Hell, Cheney was even less anti-marijuana than the present administration. If you're a believer that Cheney dictated policy in the GWB years, amount of pot seized at the Mexican border has almost doubled today vs. 2005."You know what's wrong with America?

And I'd argue the concept of "the president can do whatever he wants in time of war" predates Cheney's tenure by, oh, about 140 years.I'm just here for the baseball.
