Civil disobedience or lawlessness?

The tale of Jim and John from Cincinnati who flew to Baltimore to be married on the tarmac has been noticed by Mike DeWine, the Attorney General of Ohio. He will appeal the decision from the judge who decreed that John's death certificate must declare him married. DeWine is up for reelection this fall and his opponent is David Pepper. He scolds DeWine, saying the AG took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.



Terrence Heath has collected about 3 dozen cartoons about the George Zimmerman acquittal in Trayvon Martin's death. Heath grouped them in three parts.



Officials in Montgomery County, near Philadelphia, have announced they are defying the gay marriage ban in Pennsylvania and will grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples. This comes after the ACLU has sued the ban in federal court and Kathleen Kane, the state's AG, declared she would not defend the ban. Yes, couples are taking advantage of the opportunity, though the ACLU warns later court action could invalidate the marriages. The GOP is complaining how horrible these marriages are. But, strangely, so far nobody is actually doing anything to stop them.
