		<description>When i was younger i used to love history class and the wonderful stories of those that have fought for human rights in the U.S.

It all seemed surreal to me....as though i would never have the chance to face the&quot;fire hoses and police dogs&quot; of society and put my self on the path of danger to fight for the right reasons against the conventional wisdom of society.

It feels good to have stepped into history and be a small part of this fight and enjoy this night of victory.

This thrill of victory will be short lived.
It must be.
We have work to do!
OH YES WE HAVE WORK TO DO.

The fukkkin Right is gonna come out with HATE and BIG BIG money and hit us hard!!

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN EQUALITY??

DO YOU??

OR IS IT SOME CONCEPT YOU &quot;ACCEPT&quot; BECAUSE YOU ARE SOME 
KIND OF FASHION-OF-THE-DAY- LIBERAL??

If you are offended by this question..prove it!

Action is the only currency accepted round here brother.

This issue is OUR modern day civil rights movement..nothing less.</description>

		<description>This just came in over the transom

*The Obama campaign released the following statement today on the decision of the California Supreme Court:*

&quot;Barack Obama has always believed that same-sex couples should enjoy equal rights under the law, and he will continue to fight for civil unions as
President.  He respects the decision of the California Supreme Court, and
continues to believe that states should make their own decisions when it
comes to the issue of marriage.&quot;

On the issue of constitutional amendments, Senator Obama has been on record for some time: He opposes all divisive and discriminatory constitutional
amendments, state or federal.  That includes the proposed amendments in
California and Florida.</description>

		<description>Question: &quot;What is â€œMUCH more importantâ€ than affording equal rights to all of our citizens?&quot;

Answer: Between now and November 2008, retaking the White House.

I hardly think having the Justices wait on this decision until after the election would have amounted to a significant, or meaningful &quot;putting off&quot; of this right.</description>

		<description>A Great Day for California..........
What is amazing is that the 4-3 decision is (3 republicans+1 democrat vs 
3 republicans) and that the Governor is not going to support the righties efforts to push a ballot proposition for November.

When one reads the decision, it is not surprising to see the legal reasoning behind it going all the way back to 1948 and the Lopez decision. What is further amazing are Chief Judge George&#039;s opinion exemplies the true position that the court is the final arbiter of public policy. One needs to remember that the Kraemer decision upholding San Francisco&#039;s efforts was by a Reagan Republican. The parallel: these jurists set personal politics aside and relied clearly on the law and prior court decisions to affirm what is right for California.

So where is Jubal?-, probably out gathering signatures and practicing his exclusionary form of public outrage. Dont forget to wear your NeoKlan robes when you do. 

As City Attorney Dennis Herrera said today: its over. So if the proposition passes, the state supreme court will invalidate it. And the Federal Supreme Court wont touch this.

		<description>Anon,

What is &quot;MUCH more important&quot; than affording equal rights to all of our citizens?

We cannot continue to put off doing what is right just because we fear backlash from the right.</description>

		<description>Sean, you&#039;re wrong in your assumption that, if I were a person specifically affected by this decision, it would change my view of it on strategic terms. Your view simply undercuts a person&#039;s ability to see two sides of the same coin.

Like I said, and I repeat, I applaud the decision on its face, but I happen to feel retaking the White House (and the Governorship, for that matter) is MUCH more important in the short term.</description>

		<description>Those that say that we should wait to give folks equal rights because we don&#039;t want to give the &quot;right&quot; ammo are obviously not one of the folks being denied equal rights.

I am sure they would view things differently if they were being denied rights that the rest of us take for granted.

I am with Bill, there is no &quot;safe&quot; time, and really, how sad is that?</description>
