NC's Amendment One gets the Colbert treatment
Submitted by usernamehere on Thu, 05/10/2012 - 9:54amBoomerang: Republican Russell Robinson destroys Amendment One
Submitted by usernamehere on Fri, 03/30/2012 - 10:35amRussell Robinson III, a prominent lawyer and conservative in Charlotte writes against Amendment One in yesterday's Charlotte Observer.
The proposed amendment is so poorly worded and so unnecessary that its adoption would actually increase the probability of a federal court invalidating its ban on same-sex marriage. This is exactly the opposite of the result intended by the amendment’s proposers.
He lays out even more unintended consequences of Amendment One -- for the opponents of gay marriage. Because of the vague language used in the NC Amendment, he writes:
That language in the recent California case describes the proposed amendment to our North Carolina constitution so well that it strongly invites the filing of a federal court action in North Carolina to invalidate our similar constitutional amendment as well. In fact, it might make North Carolina the best state in which to bring such an action.
Emphasis mine in both quotes.
And he writes correctly. Some lawyer will become very famous getting this Amendment overturned in federal court should it pass on May 8.

MLK Day thread
Submitted by usernamehere on Mon, 01/16/2012 - 10:27amThere will be and have been a lot of reflections on Dr. King's life today and this weekend. In recent years, I've taken this opportunity to reflect on his wife, Coretta, as I will do again here.
Rev. Dr. Joseph Lowery at Coretta's funeral a few years ago sums it up well. Watch the whole video, it's worth it.
Be sure to check in at about 1:05 through 2:00.
But in the morning,will words become deeds that meet needs?
