2/27    To all you constitutional revisionists who think gay marriage is
        somehow implied or sanctioned by the US Constitution, you guys are
        full of shit. 200 years of history and there was never any
        ambiguity about this point. If you want to play this bullshit
        game of "interpretation" you should really get your head out of your
        ass. The whole bending of words to support gay marriage is an
        anathema on common sense. If you really want to recognize gay
        marriage then fucking pass a law stating as such. Otherwise,
        leave it the fuck alone. This type of revisionism is setting a
        bad precedent for the rule of law. We might as well dump the whole
        thing into a fucking shredder.
        \_ It made me chuckle to hear the president talk about the brushing
           aside of 200 years of american jurisprudence, yet he had no trouble
           with brushing aside habeas corpus...
        \_ The constitution was always meant to be interpreted differently
           in its day (it is kinda vague, but has certains truths and ideals).
           "We the People" meant white men in their day, but now it includes
           men and women of all races, persuasions, etc. If you want strict
           interpretations of anything, join the Taliban or Al Queda.
                \_ The is a mechanism for additional interpretations
                   of the Constitution, they are called Amendments.
                   There are 17 of them.
                   \_ umm, dude, it's 27.
        \_ U.S. Constitution, equal protection clause -- this is why gay
           marriage can go to the U.S. Supreme Court.  (Notice how I never
           say anything about whether it will be voted up or down.)
        \_ They said the same thing about slavery, but not as eloquently
           as you do.
