The President has nominated the first Hispanic to the Supreme Court who is also a woman and represents a tremendous breakthrough, and on the same page on CNN I see that the California Supreme Court has upheld Prop 8 and removed the Civil Rights of Gay people.
Why do I feel like it's November 5th all over again?
Go to bed, awesome new thing has happened in America about fighting bigotry, wake up and Gay Civil Rights are taken away. DEJA VU!
The SOLE vote against bigotry? The only Democrat on the CA Court.
I'm not even angry, I'm just nauseous.
President Obama, you're on notice: You haven't mentioned the recent victories in Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, ONCE. Support the Gay Civil Rights struggle, stop Don't Ask Don't Tell, get rid of the Defense Of Marriage Act, or in 2012 I'm voting for a primary challenger. AGAIN.
Because right now?
I'm leaning towards calling you Bigot in Chief.
From Frank Rich in the New York Times: "Relegating fundamental constitutional rights to the bottom of the pile until some to-be-determined future seems like a shell game.
As Wolfson reminds us in his book “Why Marriage Matters,” Dr. King addressed such dawdling in 1963. “For years now I have heard the word ‘Wait,’ ” King wrote. “It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This ‘Wait’ has almost always meant ‘Never.’ ”
