Judges in Prop 8 case threatened

(San Francisco, California) A newly-formed group has issued a warning to California’s Supreme Court justices: Overturn Proposition 8 at your own peril.

The court will issue its ruling today on the constitutionality of Prop 8, the voter measure banning same-sex marriage in the state that was approved in November.

The group calling itself the American Civil Responsibilities Union held a news conference Monday on the steps of the court to announce plans to launch a statewide effort to recall any state of the justices who vote to overturn Proposition 8.

“We believe homosexuality in all its manifestations is an unfortunate abnormality,” the group said in a statement distributed to the news media.

“However, we wish it understood that we fully support alternative civil unions between like sexes. As registered `domestic partnerships,’ they should have all the state rights and responsibilities that are assumed in traditional marriages,” the statement said.

It only now occurred to me that 10AM means their time, not real (Eastern) time. Shucks.

3. really? state's rights?

Well then I can get civil unioned in every state. To someone different. Legally. Heck I could even be a dude and get civil unioned to several different women, legally.

Are these people really smarter than a fifth grader?

6. This group should be put on a watch list, seriously...

the threat of domestic terrorism cannot be tolerated, period. If this is not a threat of terror against the justices, then what is it?
