I never said grave sexual danger. I used the words sexual harassment.

I'm guessing the same percentage of gay guys will harass in military life as do in civilian life.

Anyway. Im about to log off as Santa is making the midnight rounds and I have a lot of driving to do. Have a great rest of the evening / morning.

Oh! You've already been to my house! We opened all the gifts you brought, so now I'll eat some of the See's chocolates you brought.

Merry Christmas! Thanks for the discussion!

Hello again, dad:

I'm different than you. I don't care who thinks I'm attractive as I go about by daily life. I'm absolutely certain that I turn on gay guys. It doesn't offend me. Yes, when I was in the Navy and in the can, I'm CERTAIN that I showered with gay's. I don't know, for sure, because I never saw anybody with a boner in the shower, which is what I think YOU think will happen...

There are straight men who feel threatened if they think a gay guy is turned on to them... I guess they think their masculinity is threatened... Those people couldn't possibly take a shower with a gay guy even if the gay guy NEVER gave him a glance.

The majority of MEN would NOT feel threatened in that situation, but you think we should protect the few that do. That's just not going to happen.

I guess next he will claim elections are unconstitutional and then he can be president for life. Sound familiar ? He has lost his mind if he thinks he is supreme ruler of this United States.

Last I heard we were still suppose to be a system of checks and balances not a lock step society.

He's already declared the Senate, House and Supreme court... to be subservient to his delusions of Omnipotence... rather than co-equal branches.


Obamas essentually acting like a dictator now rather than just a blowhard egomaniac.

Hello dad:

A signing statement is a written pronouncement issued by the President of the United States upon the signing of a bill into law.

The American Bar Association stated that the use of signing statements to modify the meaning of duly enacted laws serves to "undermine the rule of law and our constitutional system of separation of powers".

George W. Bush signed 750 of them. Here's a list.

DOMA is Federal law passed by Congress and signed into law .It has not been stuck down in Courts. He is shirking his duty with this decision and showing contempt of Congress in doing so .

I did not know Zero was now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Oh wait ;that's right... he's Chief Executive... not Chief Justice. His job is to enforce the law .

He truly is an imperial President . He makes laws without Congress ;enforces the ones he choses ,and makes definitive judicial declarations on the law as if he is the Pope speaking ex cathedra .

Jeffrey Lord at American Spectator considers a Palin Presidency ;a Mark Levin AG ,and the issue of enforcing Roe v Wade :

Barely twenty-four hours after her inauguration as America's first woman chief executive, President Sarah Palin announced today that Attorney General Mark Levin has been instructed to stop defending Roe v. Wade and abortion in a wave of fresh lawsuits filed in federal courts around the country.

Said the Attorney General:

"Roe v. Wade contains numerous expressions reflecting moral disapproval of unborn children and their potential intimate and family relationships -- precisely the kind of stereotype-based thinking and animus the (Constitution's) Equal Protection Clause is designed to guard against."

"Much of the legal landscape has changed in the 40 years since the Supreme Court created a so-called 'right to privacy,' which has no constitutional basis and no tangible form," Levin said in a statement. He noted that various Supreme Court justices have previously ruled that laws authorizing the taking of the life of an unborn child are unconstitutional and that Congress has forbidden the federal government from paying for abortions.

At the White House, a spokesman said Palin herself was never one to be "grappling" with her personal view of abortion, and has always personally opposed Roe v. Wade as "unnecessary and unfair."

Levin wrote to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, that Palin has concluded Roe v. Wade fails to meet a rigorous standard under which courts view with suspicion any laws targeting minority groups who have suffered a history of discrimination. "The unborn, perhaps the most vulnerable minority group in history, have a severe history of discrimination," added the new attorney general.

The attorney general also said the Justice Department had defended the law in court until now because the government was able to advance reasonable arguments for the law based on a less strict standard.

On Wednesday, Levin said the president has concluded that, given a documented history of discrimination against the unborn, classifications that include genetic detection of sexual orientation should be subject to a more heightened standard of scrutiny than the department had been applying in legal challenges to the act up to now.

The attorney general said the department will immediately bring the policy change to the attention of two federal courts now hearing separate lawsuits targeting Roe v. Wade.

The decision brought an angry response from Planned Parenthood. In what sources say was a heated phone conversation with the head of the pro-abortion group, one shocked Justice Department career attorney said the Attorney General was heard to say:

"Get off the phone you big dope."

Hello tom:

Here's what's REALLY happening.. He's going to ENFORCE DOMA, he's just not going to defend it in court.

In any case, some people thought the Bush signing statements were the acts of a dictator... You could include me in that group.

The good part of this is that DOMA will not get phoney insincere representation from the Holder Justice Dept. Other legal organizations like Landmark Legal Foundation will take the lead.
