They keep putting a proposition to raise the salaries of Arizona legislators. Right now it's $24,000/year. If the legislators weren't so crappy I'd consider voting for a raise.
It's really bizarre that things like this happen through the courts without anyone passing a law but obviously a good result and the reaction of the red states will be a sight to behold.
My favorite quote from all of the rulings leading up to today comes from the Virginia case last year.
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) THE SECOND COMING Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand; A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
This poem is intended to signify the decline of civilisation, the coming of the anti-Christ and the apocalypse. What are you implying?
Pasted from my Facebook- So, there. All right then. I've said it for awhile now, America isn't really America until it 100% lives up to "all men are created equal", and gives equality to everyone. Gay marriage is de-facto gay rights, and gay rights is that last little bit of the civil rights project that didn't get done. It's done, America starts now. Next up, ending the drug war, and cleaning up the racist cops.
The American political system is disfunctional mainly because one party has a my way or nothing attitude. That means people who actually want justice and who are not hate filled bigots must seek redress through the courts. They asked the courts to review the constitutionality of discriminatory laws. The court found that the anti-equality laws did violate people's right to due process as well as their right to equal protection of the law.
Well then, you should applaud this decision. America "declines" thus causing Jesus to return and hoover up the faithful. You get to go to Heaven, and Satan gets his ass kicked by the two fisted fighting Jesus. I'd think you'd be ecstatic about this ruling.
That is ridiculous. Because it means the end for billions of people alive in the world today. No future opportunities for salvation and redemption.
Wait, God knows everything that'll happen, so he knows when it ends, so that automatically slaps a finite limit on all the souls in the soul vault, so no one misses out.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/06/26/gay-marriage-dissents/29334121/ These dissenting opinions are pretty idiotic. It should be left up to the voters? Really? People should get to vote on whether or not somebody else has a valid marriage?
Yes, I just read a statement from the Texas AG filled with talk about how this would oppress Christians.
24G a year? Well that would definitely discourage somebody from serving more than one term! Wait, maybe if you "outsourced" the position to India or China.
