This is great news http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/texas_gay_marriage_ban_ruled_unconstitutional

A federal judge in San Antonio declared Texas' ban on gay marriage unconstitutional Wednesday, the San Antonio Express-News reported.

But U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia issued a stay along with the ruling, according to the newspaper, so the ban remains in place for the time being.

1. Excellent I think if Texas goes,

that's the ballgame!

2. I know a lot of folks in Houston who are going to be celebrating

Unfortunately, it's going to make electing Democrats a lot harder later this year.

Oh, well. I'd rather have civil rights for all of us and put up with morons in Congress for two more years. Civil rights are more important.

Just expect all those pompadoured preachers to be fulminating away.

3. Give Greg Abbott something to do.

As long as he is not interested in Republican voter fraud.

4. Greg is a bad attorney

He keeps losing in these cases

5. You would think Texas could afford a little better legal representation.

There are some top-notch attorneys in the State.
