Bolsheviks

Ambinder uses a word that sometimes describes my own anxieties over the "netroots".

What's odd is that some of the quality of the analysis appears to have deepened, based on ad-hoc observation, even as the internecine partisanship seems to have ratcheted up. How sad.

It's notable in context, because someone who was cut from TPM Cafe is complaining that it was related to content about women voters.

Anyway, Kos still has California swell Gavin Newsome:

Please – take a moment right now and go to equalityforall.com and join the "Decline to Sign" campaign to discourage people from signing these dangerous and hateful petitions. The very best way we can show the Court, not to mention the governor, the state legislature and the country that equality should not be whim to popular opinion or the political winds, is to stop the newest effort to legalize discrimination.

No matter the outcome of today's arguments, it is clear that this battle will continue. I, for one, believe that it is a fight worth fighting and never giving up on, until we have won.

If you have a chance today, check out Judge Richard Kramer's opinion from 2004 in support of marriage equality. He offers a well reasoned, dispassionate analysis of the fundamental right to marry. His decision was overturned – but I believe that his reasoning will prevail, if not today then someday.
