REMARKABLE

In direct contradiction of my belief that Republicans have their heads up their asses, there is this, this morning.

Prominent Republicans Sign Brief in Support of Gay Marriage

This is a major development.

One, because it is support from an unlikely quarter which might, vaguely, sway SCOTUS members even a little bit.

Second, because it creates another breach between the economic conservatives and the social warriors.

I do notice that not one of the signatories are in office anywhere. But that is to be expected. Had they stated their views so openly they would not have been elected.

I don't suppose that this will do a lot but it feels good.

The Court will hear arguments in late March then deliberate.

The Prop 8 case is not the only one wending its way to the Supremes. But it is the earliest one and the one that would most affect me. My state. My marriage.
