LOL since when is your own DAUGHTER being gay not enough of a “reason” for you to have a legal standing??? The lack of logic here is either humorous or darkly frightening. That’s like if we made a law that says “everyone who is 52 this year must die”. And you fight the law, because your mom is 52 and you’re kind of fond of her. And they tell you to shutup because you have no legal standing, no stake in the issue. what????

I love these: “we defend the voter’s choice” crap… do they think if they put MANY other issues to the public for popular vote that they would be allowed to exist? why don’t we put up for election whether or not Women should have rights? why don’t we just vote whether or not we should have to pay taxes, etc? LOL

This is not the battle to be fought now. The battle to be fought is NJ, NY, moving WA state from ‘Civil marriage but not in name’ to marriage. And perhaps CA – depends on the court. And CUs in Illinois, etc.

Eventually relatively moderate states like Wisconsin will look around, and the people will understand they are out of touch with decency and the true American Way.

Another possibility is RI – very small, but very Catholic. But push the right buttons, and you might get enough good Catholics, who believe with quite a number of their priests (closeted re supporting gay rights on fear of losing their job to the tyranny of Rome) to get CUs there.

I hope no one gets their hopes up on this case. While Wisconsin has an outstanding Chief Justice, the majority of the Supreme Court members are 1860s thinkers put in office by the radical right extremists. Two of them remain under an ethical cloud, one already reprimanded for ethical violations and the other under investigation for the same. So, don’t expect much from this bunch of judicial lightweights beholden to the radical right.
