Comments on: Obama Goes To Court To Defend Anti-Gay Law http://irregulartimes.com/index.php/archives/2009/06/12/obama-goes-to-court-to-defend-anti-gay-law/ When old landmarks crumble, established roads no longer lead the way. New paths open to those with an irregular eye. Our news is unfit for print.

Meanwhile, corporate world keeps steamrolling the environment, wages, human rights, and living standards like there's no tomorrow. Nice to know we can still speak out, not that it does any good.

That's what this "obscure legal brief" does. But yes, most Americans won't pay attention to it, just as most Americans haven't paid attention to the other erosions of constitutional rights under Bush and Obama. Most Americans know more about who the contestants on American Idol are than they do about the Constitution and the foundations of their legal rights. Yes, most people will go along with denial of equality under the law for homosexuals, because homosexuals aren't popular. As for myself, I'm not going to allow the ignorance and apathy of most Americans stop me from speaking out when the Constitution is treated like an outdated relic.

Isn't getting Sotomayor confirmed more important than some obscure legal brief along with a slew of COA nominees? Just saying..
