Found out over the weekend that one of my college classmates, who married during the time it was legal in CA, was one of the lead plaintiffs in the challenge. He was gratified that his own marriage was upheld but pissed as hell that others couldn't enjoy the same privilege^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hright. Give 'em hell …
The classmate has every right to be … something … at the solon\’s dividing the baby.I\’d ask only one question: \”Why do we involve the gooferment in a personal, familial, church-wise decision?\”We should tell the gooferment to pack up its papers, bureaucrats, rules, regulations, laws, and \”stuff\” and go back to whatever rathole they emerged from.We just don\’t need their \”barbara streisand\”!
