No surprises here: “A federal appeals court today declared California’s same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional … The three-judge panel of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that a lower court judge correctly interpreted the U.S. Constitution and Supreme Court precedents when he declared in 2010 that Proposition 8 — a response to an earlier state court decision that legalized gay marriage [sic] — was a violation of the civil rights of gays and lesbians.“
Alas, we enter February and another “Black History Month.”
Yep, I’m white, and no, I’m not a racist; rather, I object to propaganda and pandering. And I merely echo black writers when I lament this offensive and downright silly observance. As if we can — or should — segregate the history of one race from everyone else’s.
Rand Paul's Stand Against the TSA
Written by Becky AkersThe TSA didn’t just “detain” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) Monday: it showed us another of the agency’s many uses to Our Rulers. Not only does it teach the serfs their place in the police-state — utter submission, even to sexual assault and irradiation — it’s also a ready weapon against political enemies.
Item: A Chinese woman studying at Hays State University in Kansas tried to board a plane with a stun gun in her purse. The TSA called the cops to arrest her. She later told the AP she hopes to “resolve” the incident with a fine.
The NDAA and Suspension of Habeas Corpus: Not Just for "Enemy Combatants” Anymore
Written by Becky AkersRemember all those neocons and Republicans who cheered George W. Bush’s “indefinite detainment” of “enemy combatants”? Many of them — though, amazingly, not all — have lost their enthusiasm for trampling the Constitution now that Obama’s administration has suspended habeas corpus for American citizens, too, with the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA).
