I for one, can't wait for that state to finally follow through with the long-standing promise that one day it will simply break off and slide into the ocean. Can't happen soon enough.

Just from Fresno down. The top half is actually a very nice place. The bottom half is: what if you kidnapped the residents of Oklahoma and moved them en mass to Las Vegas.

Good grief.

Phillip and Sandra Unruh are very clear: Same-sex marriage in Kansas would violate their property rights.

The couple, who lives in the small town of Harper southwest of Wichita, has filed a motion to intervene as defendants in an ACLU lawsuit seeking to allow same-sex marriages in the state. The couple argues in a filing prepared by Phillip Unruh, an attorney, that same-sex marriage would rob them of their property rights by devaluing their marriage.

I'd love to see the balance sheet with the calculations to show exactly how much "value" their marriage lost.

On the Old Testament Industrial Average, the current quote on a wife is 2 donkeys and a bushel of wheat.

The best line in that article is:

Phillip has been practicing law for more than 34 years, according to his legal website.

It is. I don't, either.

Noah?

Who's that?

It's... THE LORD.

(pause) Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Edit: routine here, by a Cosby who looks around 15.

I smell popcorn...

Although Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback and Attorney General Derek Schmidt have pledged to defend the state’s ban on same-sex marriage, the Westboro Baptist Church insists it must intervene because, among other reasons, political pressure for state officials to disagree with the church and their inability to invoke religion in the arguments. “The Kansas Attorney General is unable to adequately represent WBC because to do so would cause the Attorney General to assert religious viewpoints and constitutionally protected religious rights, which is arguably contrary to the duty of the government to remain neutral on matters of religion, and would constitute a breach of the separation of church and state doctrine,” the brief says.

Ha. WBC is an ally I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Good luck with that, KS.

Res ipsa loquitur:

in the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2008 ruling that upheld Indiana’s voter ID law, Justice John Paul Stevens acknowledged “flagrant examples of such fraud” throughout the nation’s history and observed that “not only is the risk of voter fraud real” but also that “it could affect the outcome of a close election.”

So a left-leaning SCOTUS Justice says voter fraud is real and is a problem. and he said it six years ago.

Justice Stevens today:

"I have always thought that David Souter [in his dissent] got the thing correct, but my own problem with the case was that I didn't think the record supported everything he said in his opinion," said Justice Stevens, who retired in 2010. "He got a lot of stuff off the Internet and inferred things and so forth." But "as a matter of actual history, he's dead right. The impact of the statute is much more serious" on poor, minority, disabled and elderly voters than evidence in the 2008 case demonstrated, he said.

He's saying that if a liberal cites a conservative talking point that proves it. Like when Bush Senior called trickle down "Voodoo Econo--" wait what?!

I guess someone will have to explain how res ipsa relates to that.
