      <![CDATA[Better late than never I suppose but all of the arguments put forward in this brief in favor has been valid since DOMA was enacted up until today so fuck all these people.  I'll also point out that not one of these people has enough juice to pull a single Republican primary voter out of the fever swamp their party currently resides in or sway a vote on the Supreme Court. <br>
<br>
It's great that your kids and grandkids have bullied you out of your aprthaid era view of social liberties.  But none of you (especially you Mehlman) said a fucking word when your word had currency. You don't get to glom onto a movement you pissed on until the winds of change became an unstoppable force. Fuck off republicans.

      <![CDATA[Never underestimate the talents of the haters on the Court to cobble together some ruling that appears to allow same sex marriage in theory while giving the states the ability to make it nearly impossible to implement in fact.  Look to abortion laws in the red states.  A ruling like that would give the Rethugs something to point to (see how evolved we are now, vote for us again) while it would satisfy the teabagger need to be nasty to gays.  A win win for GOPers.  I am very skeptical of anything any Republithug does no matter how good it looks on the surface.  One of their jellybeans will be the poison pill in our Easter basket.

      <![CDATA[@9        I'd be surprised if the SCOTUS ruling on the Prop 8 case winds up as as a 6-3 to overturn.  More likely a 4-5 to overturn the lower Appeals Court's ruling, with Roberts joining the other 4 D-Justices* to strike it down, thereby legitimizing Prop 8's hate as being Constitutional.  <br />
<br />
The other Marriage Equality case -- to repeal DOMA -- seems more likely to be a 5-4 decision, with perhaps even Roberts joining with Kennedy & the majority to make it 6-3.<br />

      <![CDATA[@15 Gay marriage might indeed be a slippery slope into polygamy.  The difference is that while it is possible that gay marriage could damage society by opening the way to polygamy, it has been demonstrated that forbidding gay marriage damages society by preventing proper inheritance, medical access, social stability and childrearing, and "does" must trump "might."

      <![CDATA[Doesn't surprise me.  The loudest republicans tend to be the nuttiest and we've made our elections so expensive that being elected as an individual against some of the platform is near impossible.<br />

Many republicans are primarily fiscal conservatives and don't think the government, especially the federal government, should be dealing with social / religious issues at all.<br />
<br />
The pattern seems to be that many politicians sing a more moderate tune once they are out of office and not running for anything.

      <![CDATA[@ 30, if you're suggesting that the GOP is beginning to swing left (toward the center) and become competitive, we are a very long way from being assured that that's happening. They have swung so fully to the right that making even pragmatic moves back to the middle will require a successful purging of the teabaggers and bigots who have been crucial to the GOP successes of the previous decade.<br />
<br />
That doesn't mean that they can't still be dangerous in general elections, but from today's perspective it's hard to see how they return to the mainstream without tearing themselves apart first. Their biggest hope is that they have a more viable bench of POTUS candidates than the Dems. But are any of them pure enough to win the nomination? Can any of them kiss the hard right's collective ass without going so far to the right that swing voters won't buy their run back to the center?<br />
<br />
As I wrote upthread, same sex marriage is inevitable, and it's not the topic teabaggers care most about, and there are fewer bigots every day as they either die out or open their hearts and learn (like that girl from Westboro). If SCOTUS overturns DOMA, that will kill same sex marriage as a mainstream political issue once and for all, but it's been dying for years, as undeniably demonstrated by the successes in Washington and elsewhere.<br />
<br />
That said, the GOP is still beholden to its most extreme members, and they have plenty of other issues to shout about and scare middle of the road voters with. I think The Stranger will cope just fine.

      <![CDATA[Considering the contributions to the brief of advisors to the previous Bush administration, the cynic in me says they're trying to take gay marriage off the table as a contentious social issue in order to put a moderate face on the republican party to help Jeb Bush win back centrist voters when he runs for the Presidency in 2016.

      <![CDATA[@ 21, election returns? That's probably a bit too specific, given that they have lifetime appointments. But Supreme Court justices ARE human, so they are not immune to the politics of their time, nor are their decisions free from emotion and prejudice. They are affected by the politics surrounding them. That's exactly the thing that makes the Constitution a living document, despite the wishes of those who insist it's frozen in the amber of 1787.

I can't tell if any signers are currently in office.  The phrasing of the excerpt suggests that there are two current Congresspersons, but the article names a former Congresswoman and I didn't see anyone else mentioned identified as current in my skim of the source.
