Hilary released this video today.....
Campaigning or just speaking out prior to the SCOTUS hearings on the constitutionality of DOMA scheduled for later this month?
She looks tired. Hope she's up for this whole presidential race thing.
Edit - got it!

Continuing on the idea of the SCotUS and SSM... the court is hearing arguments on Prop 8 today, and DOMA tomorrow. Early reports seem to say that they'll decline to rule on Prop 8, effectively making its overturn from the lower courts binding and once again allowing *** marriage in CA.
Frankly, this is how the entire thing should go: http://www.theonion.com/articles/supreme-court-on-***-marriage-sure-who-cares,31812/

Early reports are almost always wrong. There's not really a baby to cut in half here, the Prop 8 thing is mostly the sideshow, if they invalidate DOMA the game's over. There's a real argument there's no standing for the Prop 8 plaintiffs, they might go that way to avoid forcing Alabama to start marrying people, they probably won't uphold DOMA, so the rich Alabamans can still go to Boston or wherever and get married and then return to Alabama and claim full rights.
I'd guess they'll go with a broader validation of SSM, but it's not usually wise to underestimate the cowardice of the conservative wing on human rights issues.

Yeah I saw that as well.
The DOMA hearing isn't about Prop 8, but about an 86 year old woman who got socked with a $350K inheritance tax bill because while the state of NY recognized her marriage of to her late partner of 40 years, the federal US government did not. And so she sued, in the grand American tradition.
Her argument is that if she had been married to a man, she would have been exempt from the estate tax.
If any argument to the conservatives is going to convince them to strike down DOMA, this would probably be it. It's going to be interesting how it all plays out.

We may disagree on whether the reward/incentive should exist, but at least we don't fail to recognize why it exists in the first place and rationally assess why one type of car should get it and not another. Please tell me you can grasp why this applies here.

No, it's about there not even being the potential for babies. 'Cause, you know, straight couples who don't/can't/won't have kids still totally deserve full marriage benefits, but *** couples raising children don't.
Back in facebook news, I've seen a few people putting up red ">" signs. While some are posting them with captions like "I stand with God; homosexual marriage is NOT equal; traditional marriage is greater!", it seems like a few are taking the opposite approach: saying SSM is just a step to "greater" acceptance of homosexuals in society.
Oh, facebook. You silly, silly social media platform.

When a member of a *** couple accidentally gets impregnated by the other and the government has to get involved to force the other to take responsibility for the child, I'll be the first in line to demand that we apply marriage status to *** couples. For me, it's not about liking or disliking a given type of couple, but the physical and legal realities of the situation.

It's important to have a system in which the discrimination is *not* based on liking or not liking a given group of people. If you hold a position on *** marriage because you frame it in terms of being for or against homosexuals, you are encouraging exactly the wrong type of system. Do you really want to have a government that does things that way? Think carefully about your answer.

Posted: Mar 26 2013 at 5:51 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Ok. I wont say it then. ****. I will. The separate tax break is for the extra costs related to caring for a dependent. It's neither an encouragement nor discouragement for having dependents in the first place, nor does it address the relationship between the parents either currently, or at time of birth.
If you allow same-*** marriage, then those people would be encouraged to adopt a child, which would then bring about extra expenses necessitating a tax break for caring for a dependent, and at the same time relieves the burden of too many children in "the system."

That's already available, but very few (nearly none in fact) *** couples pursue it, preferring to fight a legal battle for something they don't really need or want instead of getting what they want right now. This is where I inject my patented "leaders of a cause care more about the politics of the cause, than the people they claim to be trying to help".

By the way, Gbaji, i've been wondering something.
Why do we give tax breaks to infertile couples when they get married?
Why do we give tax breaks to infertile couples when they get married?
If we really want to get into it, "traditional" marriage was far more about the acquisition of property than it was actual procreation. Children were too considered a property.
In a traditional Western marriage (as in, from the last 500 years or so), a marriage granted:
- Rights of the husband to the wife's property
- Right of the husband to the wife's children (also considered property)
- Rights of the wife to have her children someday inherit her husband's property, upon his death
- Rights of the wife to some of her husband's property on his death should the marriage be fruitless
The reality, especially among the upper classes, was that not all the kids a wife had really were her husband's, but by the property laws, he was obligated to treat them as such unless he had rock solid proof of her infidelity. In exchange, he could pretty much do whatever the **** he wanted with the kids. Abandon her and take them to another country? Sure, why not. Beat them senseless? Short of homicide, it was allowed. Legally, the wife had no say in what he did with them, or with her, so long as he didn't kill them or violate laws.
The very fact that we no longer view any children born of a marriage as the husband's property to do with what he will (nor the wife for that matter) means we've already changed the view of "traditional" marriage radically in the last hundred years.

We've been over this before. His answer boils down to "It would be too difficult and costly to determine fertility, so it's easiest just to give benefits to men married to women." As opposed to giving benefits to those WITH children.

But what about when it has already been established that one or both are infertile? Surely the cost of putting a mark into a file noting not to give them such benefits would not outweigh the extra taxes they would be paying?

I have an issue with the phrase "allow same-*** marriage" though. My issue (and the issue of most people) isn't with "marriage", but with the legal status (also unfortunately called "marriage"). It's the suite of benefits and effects that are at issue. I have no issue with creation of a peer-to-peer marriage contract that includes any *** combination anyone wants. I have no issue with adoption agencies accepting such things, just as they accept the current marriage status. I just think we're getting hung up on labels at this point.
There's no need to apply the state created status to this though. What I'd really like to see is a separation of marriage contracts from the state benefits applied to opposite *** couples who enter into one. The former is something which anyone ought to be able to enter into. The latter only makes sense if the marriage exists between a man and woman.
So you basically want to completely change the current structure of marital unions in order to justify keeping same-*** couples from calling themselves married in the eyes of the government.
Wow.
