3. Funny thing..
Disparity.

Have you noticed how the right wing is so afraid that married gay men are going to sneak into their house and night and forcefully sodomize them... And yet the right wing apologists for Abu Ghraib seem to be chanting a mantra of 'oh, isn't so bad, it's just like a frat hazing..'

2. For me,
It is a big HO,Ho,Hum. The other states will have to accept it. Its the 10th amendment. No compliance will be fighting words. We have as states been bullied too long. I for one am tired of the putrid hand of the DOJ mettling in states rights.

4. Be careful.
That states' rights argument has been used to justify a lot worse things in the past.

I think a state should be in charge of managing itself, because it knows the local culture better than the federal government, but I think the federal government has a place in telling the states what rights they're -not- allowed to trample.

It's sad that a generally sound argument for states' rights has in the past been turned to arguments for segregated society, against interracial marriage, for wanton application of the death penalty, for laws regulating homosexual conduct on private property... So many laws saying what a person cannot do, too few saying what the government cannot prevent them from doing.
