Unfortunately I read Eriz Zorn’s take on the Massachusett’s Supreme Court Decision declaring a ban on gay marriage unconstitutional so I have to site (ed. that’s cite to your moron) him yet again this week. I absolutely believe marriage is a religious decision and such any sort of prohibition on adults is a violation of the religious freedom. I’m not sure that such a bold step is the quickest way to get there.
Zorn makes the point here:
I was among those who fretted that former Gov. George Ryan’s mass commutation of death sentences would harden the hearts of legislators and set back the cause of capital justice reform in Illinois by years if not forever.
I do believe I outfretted him though, with this post at the Political State Report which could not have been more wrong.
So let’s hope we are both wrong again. BTW, what is the Governor doing about the nondiscrimination based on sexual orientation bill? Anyone?
