The ISBA is for all practical purposes irrelevant, particularly in any discussion that may involve taking an unpopular position. It has not and will not provide any moral leadership on this or any other matter of legal significance out of fear that someone might actually notice the association and cause it to have to defend its position. Maybe it's "legal scholar" section is headed by Miller and Bopp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-68252890923714931412007-03-13T07:51:00.000-05:002007-03-13T07:51:00.000-05:00Guiliani is far from alone among Republicans in his views on civil unions. Even President Bush wants state legislatures to retain the power to enact them.all Yet as a letter that went to 100 Representatives yesterday points out, Senator Hershman is refusing to acknowledge that language he chose to put in SJR-7, the so-called "Marriage Amendment" denies the legislature the ability to enact them or anything like them. But he continues to claim just the opposite, despite the legislative history the letter outlines. This dirty little secret about where he got SJR7 in the first place is his "smoking gun", if only the media would wake up, investigate, and stop letting him, Eric Miller, Jim Bopp, and Micah Clark get a free pass in just asking Hoosiers to to their elusive and ideological "legal scholars". Where is the Indiana State Bar Association on this one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-6923461507997060792007-03-12T21:07:00.000-05:002007-03-12T21:07:00.000-05:00Rudy Giuliani has opened up a double-digit lead over Sen.
