Well, in honour of the goings-on in Texas last night, I feel like I should have an abortion now. Why not, I had a C-section a year ago....
*ducks bricks*
And welcome SENATOR Markey!
(He's my congressman - while nobody can evere replace the Sainted Ted, I think you'll like what you see when he gets there.)

DOMA is unconstitutional as a deprivation of the equal liberty of persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment.
"DOMA singles out a class of persons deemed by a State entitled ot recognition and protection to enhance their own liberty."
The opinion and its holding are confined to those lawful marriages.

Sotomayor dissented because she wanted the case to be overturned on merits.
so in essence, they did kick it back to the state -- but at this point, I don;t see hollingsworth v Perry being revisited with DOMA being declared DOA!

DOMA .... whatever.
Don't let this be a distraction. We all figured that this would get voted down. The release of this info is meant to pit blacks against gays. They destroy parts of the VRA and give gays rights to marry?
THIS WAS PLANNED TO DISTRACT. DON'T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE BALL!!!

A friend of mine at the Head On Radio Network chat, TexasBetsy, has been at the capitol in Austin. She is outraged at the arrogance of the GOP legislators.
This is a big week for Supreme Court rulings. We need to secure voting rights for all even as we celebrate a victory for our LGBT brothers and sisters.

It's very difficult to root for the Bruins as an entity, as the main reason their playing hockey in the summer is due to the greed and arrogance of the Bruins owner. The players, however, are a different story. I don't think you'd find a baseball player playing with a broken rib and a separated shoulder, even in World Series.

Raine, please offer my condolences. If you wish, I can say the Mourner's Kaddish for Nikki at Temple on Friday. (We are asked if there are any names we wish to add before we start the prayer.)
I have to do some things this afternoon, so I cannot write a blog today. However, let me share what I wrote on Facebook:
Today marked several key rulings by the Supreme Court. The rights of marriage and the attendant rights and responsibilities were granted to more Americans. However, the issue of marriage equality is not settled. Similarly, the court ruling on the Voting Rights Act does not settle the issue of voter discrimination -- which still exists in this country. (See Florida in the past election, when many voters -- including a 102-year-old woman -- were forced to wait for hours to vote.) Still, I believe that Dr. King was correct: the arch of history bends towards justice -- and freedom.

My phone is charging. I will give him a call this after noon to see what's going on.
He had a really bad sinus infection last week -- hopefully its something minor and related to that.
My friend Linda cried TEARS OF JOY for the first time since Niki passed away.
I have to tell you, it such a pleasure to be able to bring her some good news for the first time in 3 months.

All this manufactured scandal and SCROTUS crap is harshing my buzz. When I get a little depressed, I turn in a bit. That and the short lull I had at work evaporated and I'm busybusybusy.
Mrs. Rabbit and I celebrated our 30th anniversary yesterday, just a little dinner out, which of course didn't set well with me. While the new medication is really helping keep my blood sugar in control, it tends to upset the stomach.
