Eagles Over the Kennebec

The good folk who supported Proposition 8 in California are taking this time of peace on earth and good will toward all to continue their work of destruction and hatred. Not content with forbidding any more marriages between same-sex couples in their state, they are now suing to nullify those legally performed and executed marriages which were in place before Proposition 8 was passed. You all saw this, right? If you haven't, go on and read it; I'll be here when you get back.

The slim light in this miasma of wrongheadedness is the California Attorney General, who is calling on the court to invalidate Proposition 8 on the grounds that a constitutional amendment cannot be used to retroactively strip rights from a group of people. If any of you reading this live in California, please stir yourselves at this busy time to do what you can to support Attorney General Brown. I know, you've got plans, time set aside to spend with your family. Think of it as a gift to someone else, so that they can remain a family.

For those who failed of seeing Mr. Olbermann's November 10 commentary on Proposition 8, I offer it to you, below. Thanks to maryrobinette for bringing to to my attention.
