Just no way to do it that works. Just to jump in here -- it can work if you let such things stay local. The community can finesse solutions and bring pressure that the courts can't. Once you let federal laws come in, everybody loses. Were Jefferson around to see the filth today, he wouldn't call for more intrusive federal laws, he'd speak out for honesty and moral leadership from the top down as examples for local gov't to follow. Instead we get as examples criminal levels of irresponsible spending, taxes that are still confiscatory, continuous lies, preemptive violence under false pretense, and a level of secrecy and Executive Privilege King George III could only dream of. Not to mention intrusive policies and technology unimagined in those times. Dean has the right approach, send tricky issues to the state level wherever possible, whether marriage or guns. That's the direction towards reducing the all-powerful central gov't, at least an iota at a time. Get these issues out of the courts, let the states decide. Another example: the '00 election in Florida should have been left to FL.
