I dunno Shakey, more power to them I guess. Like, I can just imagine some guy in his house, losing sleep over this, staring at his wife in bed, thinking "what if...?", believing with all his heart that his commitment is about to be tarnished, getting up, searching furiously on his computer, thinking "there's got to be a way to keep them down!" and finding this, shocked that "the gays are not playing fair", and returning to bed with a new sense of righteous indignation.

that doesn't change the fact that, in terms of legal reasoning, this is a very stupid argument that opens their appeal up to a slam-dunk counter appeal if it is accepted
― I just like… I just have to say… (Starts crying) (DJP), Tuesday, 26 April 2011 15:53 (thirteen years ago) link
not at all, but the idea that someone cares so much about this that they'd argue something that so obviously fails on every level but one is pretty amusing
it just seems like a weird thing to oppose on this level since it's going to happen at some point no matter what anyone does about it
― frogbs, Tuesday, 26 April 2011 15:56 (thirteen years ago) link
it displays a fundamental misunderstanding of jurisprudence. the principle they are arguing simply cannot be applied to the law. extend the reasoning for a bit - should the white justices that struck down segregation laws have recused themselves because they were white? should married hetero judges recuse themselves from cases regarding gay marriage because they have an interest in "preserving" the institution of marriage? it's idiotic.

I mean sure it's FUNNY, but they're also wasting my hard-earned tax dollars with this nonsense that any half-witted first year law student could demolish

First year law student? How about, say, a 7th grader? I'm guessing even the Prop 8 supporters know how stupid this is!

Actually not entirely, in that the state via Brown and Harris aren't defending this thing, it's Pugno and his band of lunkheads. (In that they're taking up state/federal court time, yes, but personally I've been enjoying watching them stretch themselves even thinner.)

Shakey, if they keep making nonsensical and desperate looking arguments, conceivably it will only strengthen the arguments for marriage equality. It will also be a delightful cudgel to use on all the 'fiscal responsibility' right-wingers, too.
