"What a state we live in; gays can get married but we cannot purchase alcohol on Sunday."

No kidding. A federal court recently decided that case against the interest of free choice of consenting adults.

Everyone knows that Sunday liquor sales is an outright violation of the First Amendment, as it commingles the church and state, but that easy case was decided against free exercise.

These courts seem to just make it up as they go.

"Republican Attorney General Greg Zoeller will continue to pour taxpayer dollars into a legal fight to interfere with the lives of 2 consenting adults."

About that, how is the union of one man and one woman arbitrary and unconstitutional, but not the numbers, themselves?

That is, how is a union of two people the result of the deepest and clearest introspection and not, itself, an arbitrary number?

If two women should want to marry a man, why should their consent be dismissed?

If this is all about consent, why is consent capped at two and paternalism allowed after that number?

Zoeller isn't trying to make homosexuality illegal, so it's inapposite to throw the "consenting adults" canard at him.

Zoeller is trying to keep a national court from expanding a state law to include matters the state legislature never voted on, publicly deliberated or had signed into law by the Governor.

I'll gladly consent to be a licensed neurologist, operating on brains and spinal cords, but given my lack of physical ability to do the job, there's simply no way I'd ever qualify for the license. It takes more than consent to be eligible for certain licenses.

And from the party of smaller gov't and fiscal responsibility Republican Attorney General Greg Zoeller will continue to pour taxpayer dollars into a legal fight to interfere with the lives of 2 consenting adults.

Congratulations Indiana! Finally.

Bravo. I was afraid Indiana would be the last State. Greg Garrison and the conservative crowd down at WIBC must be coughing up blood. The same old tired arguments were used that were used to defend separation of the races. Tradition. Religion. Blah blah. Some people just don’t understand how entrenched their hatred had become. Didn’t matter that heterosexuals also had oral sex. That heterosexuals have anal sex. They just hated homosexuals so much. And that tired religious refrain “hate the sin love the sinner” was only trotted out by the ugliest of the haters. Its good that they will be forced over the years to confront their bigotry. The world is changing. Just the other day the Episcopaleans decided to embrace gay marriage. Its been legal for years in Europe and the sky hasn’t fallen. The pope himself said “who am I to judge these gay people.” Of course Greg Garrison judges us every day and has us sentenced to fiery hell. But I think its the other way around. These lovely gay people, all angels. And those horrible Christian haters, they’ll burn for their evil thoughts.
