QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Schwarzenegger may even be doing the right thing in turning back the bill that’s been sent to him — it’s difficult to say just what the Legislature’s powers are in this case, given California’s odd experiment with mixed, sort-of-representative-sort-of-direct democracy.
Yet it’s crystal clear where public opinion is headed, both in California and nationwide. The younger the demographic polled, the more support is found for gay marriage and civil unions.
Really, what gay marriage opponents are looking to do is write anti-gay provisions into as many state constitutions as possible — and maybe even into the federal Constitution — before the people invested in the so-called “defense of marriage” all die off.
And, well, while we may not have a Living Constitution, constitutions govern the living. A last gasp of anti-gay animus threatens to rule us from the grave, but its time is running out.” – Ryan Sager, a next generation conservative, on TCS.
