      God, yes. I guess there's no Constitutional provision for ejecting them?

        I think we should call Rick Perry's bluff and let Texas secede. Something tells me he'd backpedal faster than Carmelo Anthony.

          The Rick Perry rebrand is already a smashing success. He is charming, adorable, smart-looking, smart, and awesome. That’s right, awesome. You know who declared Rick Perry “awesome”? Rick Perry himself did! And since Rick Perry is smart now, it must be true.

          The Des Moines Register did the Lord’s work of following Perry’s bumbling around the Iowa State Fair earlier this week, where he was being straight up weird:

          Perry seemed pumped up after his enthusiastic, heckle-free reception at the Register’s Soapbox. When the Register’s moderator thanked him as he came off the stage, Perry said: “You’re welcome. I’m awesome!”

          Perry also reportedly shook a 10-year-old girl’s hand until she had to say to him, “I can’t feel my fingers.” He “circulated among the reporters, sharing his bacon. ‘Don’t be a fool. Take some,’ he said. And then he searched for some napkins. ‘Don’t lick your fingers in public,’ he said to no one in particular.”

            When Indiana acts as an employer, surely it can just as it can require it to withhold federal income taxes for its employees.

                    I could be missing something, but this seems like a disconnect between the report and the event. The judge seems to have invalidated a law that makes it illegal to shack up with more than one woman. The parts of the statute that talk about marriage he explicitly preserved. Even granting that UT and northern AZ are crawling with polygamous FLDS cults, how does this on the facts say anything about polygamy?

                      No one commenting about how Posner smacked down Wisconsin and Indiana's attorneys the other day in their same sex marriage appeals?

                      That is going to be a fun opinion to read whenever it comes out.

                        Posner would have made an "interesting" SCOTUS justice. He and Scalia would have been something to see.

                              I saw an article about that. Sounds like the attorneys for the states had a fun time explaining why marriage is better if it's only hetero.

                              But wasn't there also some interesting moments when the panel went after the challengers about polygamy, marriage to children, animals, etc? It sounds like it would have been a fun one to listen to.
                              That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
