“No matter how few agree, I have to stick with the libertarian view that if it does not hurt others, then it is nobodies business.”
A lot of people will agree with that, even a lot of conservatives. The biggest problem I have with the Vaughn Walker ruling is that it is based on such distorted constitutional reasoning. If the 14th Amendment can be used to justify the nullification of the Defense of Marriage Act, then it’s hard for me to see how it can’t be twisted to justify the nullification of almost any law. If you don’t get your way, you just change the rules, that’s the liberal way of doing things.
“If you don’t get your way, you just change the rules, that’s the liberal way of doing things.”
And if you find that your new rules suddenly work against you, you change them back again (like when the Democrats in Massachussetts in 2009 voted to reverse their own 2004 law on keeping vacant Senate seats empty until a special election).
