Social conservatives are calling on GOP candidates, especially those for President to be very clear of their stance on same-sex marriage and abortion. And that clarity had better be they're against both. They're not the GOP to quietly declare the marriage issue over and tiptoe away from it. Oh, goody!
Senator Mark Rubio is a big fan of gov't surveillance and wants to make the provisions of the Patriot Act permanent, without need for periodic renewal by Congress. Rep. Jared Polis proposes the American intelligence community begin a constant watch of Rubio. Once Rubio finds out what gets swept up hopefully he'll change his mind.
Idaho may have same-sex marriage forced on them, but a bill to add "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" to the state's Human Rights Act died in a House State Affairs Committee. The 13-4 vote was along party lines. There was 21 hours of public testimony before the vote. So no gay rights for Idaho. Just like Michigan.
The judge in Alabama who declared the state's ban on same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional has responded to the Alabama Probate Judges Association by declaring her decision is for the entire state, not just the couple named in the suit. If no new stay is in place by Feb. 9 same-sex couples across the state may begin to get married.
