Rather than attempt to get over the snowy pass this year, we stayed home for the holidays. The last time we stayed home, a little stray football, with legs, gave birth in our closet, to five squirmy kittens. That was in 2002. While one died as a young adult, the rest of the kittens, and Momma cat have been with us since. 

In the season of giving, gifts often come in unexpected ways. (more…)

Prop. 8 sponsors seek to nullify 18K gay marriages

 By LISA LEFF

Associated Press Writer

Published: Friday, Dec. 19, 2008

[SAN FRANCISCO — The sponsors of Proposition 8 asked the California Supreme Court on Friday to nullify the marriages of the estimated 18,000 same-sex couples who exchanged vows before voters approved the ballot initiative that outlawed gay unions.

The Yes on 8 campaign filed a brief arguing that because the new law holds that only marriages between a man and a woman are recognized or valid in California, the state can no longer recognize the existing same-sex unions….

…The cases are Strauss v. Horton, S168047; City and County of San Francisco v. Horton, S168078; and Tyler v. State of California, S168066.]

Well, it was a good try, but mentally unfit? Is it possible there are no standard of proof for impeachment in IL?

Breaking News from ABCNEWS.com:

Illinois Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Motion to Declare Blagojevich Unfit to Serve [2:51 p.m. ET]

[Also today, Genson(Blagojevich’s attorney) said it would be illegal for the committee to use recordings from government wiretaps and he questioned the rules that the panel would implement as they assess the governor’s possible impeachment. The attorney said he had looked through the laws and the state constitution and found “nothing” about the basis for impeachment.

“I find nothing, nothing in any of those places that talks about what is the basis and what the basis for impeachment can be,” Genson said. “I find nothing in any of those places regarding the standard of proof.”

Replied Currie, “Impeachment is appropriate if there is cause for impeachment.”]
