"Defense" of Marriage

NC is the only southeastern state that hasn't written discrimination into the constitution via a Defense of Marriage Amendment. Well, I guess we don't like being left out. Here's some of the language in the bill:

"Whereas, of the 15 states in the Southeastern U.S., only one has failed to pass constitutional amendments defining marriage as the 'union of one man and one woman.'"

Well, then, by all means, pass it. Also pass something like, "Whereas, North Carolina is one of the only southeastern states to have a decent education system, we should stop educating our children."

(But, News & Observer says Joe Hackney is trying to kill it in committees.)

Messed up.

An ultra-orthodox Rabbi has been accused of having sex with minors. His now-27-year-old daughter took the stand to testify that he had abused her since she was 9. That is painful enough, but that alleged-sack-of-shit is representing himself and got to cross-examine her! What in the hell?? He's being assisted by 2 attorneys. Couldn't the judge say, sorry, alleged-ass-wipe, you don't get to ask these questions. Go sit down.
