Welcome to the arena
Here you will find my opinions about the application of political principles to the news of the day. My perspective is clearly from the conservative point of view. This is a place to express my concerns, passions, irritations, and commentary as they apply to the current political issues of the day. Political is defined loosely in this blog. There may be posts that are not strictly political, such as movie reviews, medical topics, religious commentary and thoughts on history. I hope interest will be generated by blending my thoughts with current events. I anticipate that there will be honest disagreement. I encourage feedback to my posts with the goal of achieving clarity of disagreement. I will strive to keep the conversation polite and respectful, while avoiding political correctness and maintaining tension to keep things exciting. Hopefully, friends and family will enjoy frequenting the arena for a little intellectual stimulation and good ol' fashioned debate.
This amendment to the California constitution (proposition 8) has just been declared unconstitutional in
federal court. The title above is the exact and complete wording of the proposition. The California supreme court has already upheld the California state constitutionality of the proposition. However, US District Court Judge Vaughn Walker ruled that the amendment violates the United States constitution. What was his legal reasoning?: heterosexual marriage = homophobic discrimination. You can bet this is going all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States. Interestingly enough, the judge in this case is gay.
