THE 4TH OF JULY IN SAMARRA, IRAQ


Just a Company of American paratroopers, a guitar plugged
into the outpost's PA system, and a whole lot of demolitions.

The California Situation

By Ben Domenech

The California Supreme Court's decision to overturn the traditional definition of marriage continues the voters vs. the court dance that's been going on now for a decade. But the polling data on the ballot issue, which will put the question to the voters of whether to amend the state constitution this November, actually still looks like it has a better than average chance of passing...likely not by the overwhelming margin it did in 2000, when Prop 22 received 61 percent of the vote, but by a decent margin nonetheless.

It says a great deal that Gov. Schwarzenegger has twice vetoed the legislature's attempt to pass a same-sex marriage measure. While a social liberal like Schwarzenegger might naturally be predisposed to allow such a policy, the will of the voters is still strong enough to prevent him from doing so - he wants to pass the buck to the voters. Which is, let's face it, the right decision - we'll see if the voters respond again. More reax here.
