A few points: First, I think that the "Yes" folks are overreaching by trying to make the law retroactive and it will cost them. Second, I noticed that Ken Starr has been selected to be the lead attorney supporting the Proposition. Third, I applaud A.G. Brown's decision, since he is basing it on the California Constitution as it existed prior. It is an unusual position for any A.G. to take. Our A.G. defended our DoMA with one of the worst arguments I have ever heard (and unfortunately prevailed - so much for non-activist judges), but because it was the office's duty. That A.G., by the way, is now the Governor, and a principal proponent of gay-friendly laws in the State.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
