Random Thoughts



Just some quick ramblings, as I am bleary eyed beyond belief. My professor for tomight's class decided to describe his first job, buying his fisrt house, and how his salary grew exponentially within a three year period to pay for it. What did this have to do with Pre-Trial litigation? Diddly that I could tell. But since he used the actual dollar amounts (tacky, if I may say so) it seemed like mostly ego stroking. But hey, I gave the cat diary the benefit of the doubt, so why not a professor?



President Bush came out in gavor of a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. This was largely done to put Democrats on the defensive. Now they have to reconcile being against both gay marriage and this amendment. That civil union cop out won't fly. Civil unions are gay marriages without the official title. If civil unions are condoned, how long will it be before some put forth an equal protection claim that it should be called a marriage just like everyone else's? Regardless, the President hss nothing to do with amending the Constsitution. Thr amendment has to be passed by two-thirds of both Houses of Congress and ratified by three-fouths of the states. A daunting task indeed. I wonder if our country is too historically illiterate to know what happened to ancient Greek society when faced with a similar question and it chose poorly.



I need to skim Federal Courts and stroll off to la la land.
