9th Circuit Court of Appeals: Still looney after all these years

RE: 9th Circuit Court of Appeals: Still looney after all these years
I'm sorry. I should have specified what I meant about your last sentence. I meant that it can be used as "I have a hard time seeing where, constitutionally, _______ have a civil rights issue regarding _______________. The Constitution says nothing about seats on buses or entrances to private businesses.

I believe it all comes down to the Orwellian concept: "All [people] are equal, but some [people] are more equal than others." "We can do _____ because it's always been done, but we won't let you do it because there's no historical precedent for your kind doing things like that. We're all equal, though. "The non-traditionals are tasked with proving why they should be allowed to have certain freedoms when it should be the job of those who want to restrict freedom to prove why it needs to be restricted.

And I know I did not mention the tenth. I know that it's a state issue. My mentioning of the ninth was mainly to point out that all of the talk of "Gay marriage in the Constitution" is a huge blind and totally inapplicable.

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams, this may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash -- Too much sanity may be madness! And maddest of all, to see life as it is, and not as it should be!" ~Man of La Mancha
