Judicial Branch In-action
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court on Monday sidestepped a dispute over same-sex marriages, rejecting a challenge to the nation's only law sanctioning such unions.
Justices had been asked by conservative groups to overturn the year-old decision by the Massachusetts Supreme Court legalizing same-sex marriage. They declined, without comment.
Hooray! Hooray for nothing! It’s a sad state of affairs when a non-loss is as good as a win. I’ve finally accepted the doom-and-gloom attitude of post-9/11 United States, which STILL has not crumbled under the threat of terrorism, thank-you-very-much. In other news, the U.S. has NOT invaded Iran*, North Korea has NOT detonated nuclear warheads on uninhabited Southeast Pacific islands*, Arnold Schwarzenegger is NOT eligible to run for U.S. President* and the ice caps have NOT melted.* All of which I attribute to the leadership of our elected officials, for simply being there when all the bad things didn't happen.
