THIS IS A BIG DEAL

Obama Orders End to Defense of Federal Gay Marriage Law

This has been a long time coming. And if we waited on the Congress it would never happen.

Certainly the GOoPers aren't going to do it.

They are really bastards about everything. I can't figure it. There are a lot of Republicans who believe that the law was/is unconstitutional and they wouldn't make a peep "because of the base" which is the mantra for everything for over two years. The base, the base, the base. Forget what is right.

As for "the gays", there are those who will whine that it should have come sooner. Fuck them too.

This is at considerable political risk for him particularly given the other items on his agenda. But it is the right thing.

I am proud to be a Democrat. So proud, I got into one of those catfights at the gym today about unions. I cheered on the possibility of a general strike in Wisconsin. Well, not truly. That is illegal through the Taft-Hartley Law, but you can do good enough to make it stick.
