Re: St. Mary's gets sued

Well, the gay marriage issue has hit St. Mary's ~ literally. The ACLU filed suit against St. Mary's and other counties to allow gay and lesbian couples to get married. So, without infringing on King's Korner debate on same sex marriage, how about a discussion on whether the ACLU has a chance at winning? Personally, I think St. Mary's has become a bit more conservative over the last few years. I think it is an interesting argument, one I hope they win.
I think it is great that my tax $$ are going to pay for the littigation. I think the ACLU should be banned. Better yet, I think that everyone in the country should sue the ACLU for loss of tax revenue. Just flood them with lawsuits so they can spend all their cash hiring lawyers to defend themselves.

PACs, lobbyists and political organizations should be barred from using the courts to create legislation. They can do it like everyone else, lobby and get the public response so legislators will then take notice when the issue rises to the top of the public agenda. Problem with the ACLU is, especially on this issue, no one really gives a rats ass except a few hugely vocal groups so absent radical law creating judges and whacked out mayors they would get no significant support.

If gays want to get married let an individual sue the state.
