“If the vote were today, it probably would not get two-thirds,” said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., two weeks ago. “The reason for bringing it up is to elevate an issue which defines us as a society. The institution of marriage constitutes the fabric of our society. … That fabric is being torn apart by activist judges.”
I love it when Republicans say dumb shit like this. I cannot wait until 20 years from now when statements like that are used to chase assholes like Frist out of office.
Are these "activist judges" similar to the ones who opposed "states rights" when that phrase meant "white power"? Perhaps they are the activitst judges in Las Vegas that grant no fault quickie divorces, or maybe they are the activist judges who allow first allowed blacks and whites to intermarry. Perhaps they are the activist judges that sanctioned the marriages produced by shows like "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire". I'm not sure.
