The ulitmate sin: blasphemy against the Holy Ghost

And having just finished listening to the confirmation hearings for our newest Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, we can be assured that DOMA will be federal law (thank you CSPAN radio). The only question he answered unequivocally was that he supported the "traditional" view of marriage (no one thought to ask whose tradition), and that he believed DOMA would be immune to challenge on constitutional grounds. IOW, looks like the fundies will get their anti-homosexual discrimination into the federal statutues. Congratulations.

Heh. You have no idea. At the risk of providing more ammunition for your anti-Americanism, one of the questions on which Gonzales REALLY waffled was the torture question. In context, he refused to answer unequivocally whether the President had the right to ignore or deliberately contravene legislation which he personally felt was unconstitutional - regardless or in the absence of any court ruling on its constitutionality. Sigh. The only good thing is Gonzales appears to be at least marginally less nutty than Ashcroft was.
