Bob Barr is a Full Fledged Idiot

Why I don't take Libertarians very seriously:

The decision today by the Supreme Court of California [regarding the state's law defining marriage as between one man and one woman] properly reflects this fundamental principle of federalism on which our nation was founded...The decision in California is an illustration of how this principle of states' powers should work.

Talk about being clueless and missing the point. Message to Mr. Ron Paul-lite (who, btw, is a trained lawyer): The California Supreme Court's ruling is not an illustration of federalism, but of anti-democratic judicial activism.

Just Awful

I'd like to say I'm surprised about the California high court's ridiculous ruling today regarding the "ban" on g@y marriage in this state, but I'm really not.

The effort to qualify the California Marriage Protection Act for the ballot this November is now even more critical.

More Mixed McCain

Nice speech on judges; WTF is he thinking here?!

Addendum: The full text of McCain's speech on judges can be read here.

When you get there, you can go back to the "beginning" without putting in anyone's name or e-mail address.

Reason #898238923 Not to Be Enthused About John McCain

Unless, of course, you're a politically correct liberal. What I find particularly egregious in this instance is that McCain has condemned this perfectly acceptable political ad produced by the North Carolina GOP, even though he hasn't actually seen it.

This blatant act of pandering by Mrs. Clinton is pathetic, though not surprising. (h/t)
