JUSTICE KENNEDY: GAYS CAN MARRY IN CALIFORNIA

Openly defying the will of the people in California, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy ruled yesterday that a motion filed by anti-gay factions to halt such marriages because a ruling the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals was premature, was without merit. 

COMMENTS:
So, Californians, what the majority of the people in the state want does not matter.  The next logical step in this progression is to rule that a priest who refuses to marry a gay couple due to the doctrines of his church can be imprisoned.  This from the same Court that ruled ObamaCare to be a tax, not affecting interstate commerce and therefore legally the law of the land, although 70% of the country opposed it at the time.  We no longer live in a democracy; we live in an oligarchy. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. With the demonstrations going on again in Egypt, what are the potential ramifications?  (Terry ~ Long Beach, CA)
A. Morsi has proven himself to be a potential enemy of the U.S.  His relationship with us leaves much to be desired.  Yet, someone of some far worse faction could easily step in and take over.  We’ve not made as many mistakes in the Middle East as we have since we got involved with, supported, and then backed away from the Shah of Iran.  As shaky as things are in that neck of the woods, we need all of the friends we can get. 

Q. Why does Obama want to shut down the coal industry? (Ginger ~ Pocatello, ID)
A. Because we don’t want him to.  I really think that’s the answer.  We have an abundance of coal in this country; it will be another irony if we end up shipping it all overseas so they can use it there because we can’t use it here.  And, what would that accomplish, if the reduction of coal use would affect the world climate at all; we’re just moving the burning of coal to other nations and we’re paying higher energy prices.  Finally, there has already been tremendous progress in cleaning the use of the fuel up. 

Q. Why is Vladimir Putin making Obama look bad?  (Chelsea ~ Woodburn, OR)
A. Because he can.  However, Obama is making both himself and us look bad.  He doesn’t need any help from Putin. 

TODAY’S QUOTE:
“I believe that the members of Congress, many more than are directly affected themselves by the number of Hispanics in their district, will do what is right for our country.  And it’s certainly right — for the Republicans, if they ever want to win a presidential race.” ~ Nancy Pelosi telling Republicans they’d better do as she says and pass immigration reform.
