Defense of Marriage. There’s more an more noise about this, and everyone needs to make it an issue in the midterms. I think we should stop fighting it, as long as there’s a provision that makes divorce difficult, or requires mandatory counseling before, during and after. Let’s move the debate away from the ‘other’ and towards ‘us’ – I bet that’d change a few minds.

The sources would talk only under a guarantee of anonymity because the NSA program is secret.

I’m more interested in why this NSA phone database comes up now. Obviously it has to do with Hayden, someone wants him to become unconfirmable, that’s no great insight. But it’s not the Dems, at least I hope that this isn’t finally the fight they choose to pick It’s got to be the CIA afraid of having a NSA/military guy in charge.

If that’s the case it makes me a little sad, because this might be the final straw and it was brought about by infighting. The most illegal and immoral governement of the US in modern times, possibly ever, and we can’t organize an effective resistance.
