Missouri Gay Marriage Issue on August Ballot - Good for the World
In Nixon v. Blunt, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that the Secretary of State must put the Gay Marriage Amendment on the August ballot rather than the November ballot. The ruling was unanimous, and its reasoning, though dry to read, is solid.
The implications of this ruling are huge. The amendment will almost certainly attract every backwoods under-educated, Bible-thumping moron in the state to the polls, and we have plenty of them in this state. If they came out in November, they would certainly skew the polls toward their intellectual equal, George Bush. Since Missouri is a swing state, it is conceivable that Bush just lost 11 electoral votes today, because a Missouri Supreme Court composed of 3 Republican appointments and 4 Democratic appointments did their solemn duty, and reached a unanimous decision. Their decision may possibly save the world from 4 more years of Bush rule.

Yeah, but unfortunately it will be at the expense of civil rights.

Gosh, if you'd left out the comment about Bible-thumping, I would have thought you were talking about all of the inbred homersekshuls who attended the casting call for the movie "Deliverance." Not all homersekshuls are like the boys on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."
Don't forget - both straight men and gay women love Bush.
I see you've had a recent infestation of some of those anonymous, backwood, hate 'freepers', who have generously supplied written examples of just what you're getting at!
The only angle here I understand is the one you supplied, but only partly. I assume the decision was based on the legality of deadlines and process.
Can I offer a query you might base another entry upon? Other than reason you stated, are there any other benefits to Kerry and the Dems, by keeping this off the November ballot?
How do you think the campaign on this will shape up? What groups will emerge as prominent adversaries? Will money be spent? How? TV, radio, mailings...push polling?
How will the major state political players (both parties) be involved? Is the result a far gone conclusion? What side will the major papers take?

John A. - So are you saying that you are God? If not, what hotel are you sending us all too, I would like to call ahead and ask for a King Non-Smoking room.
