AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LIBERALS TO ARTICULATE A MESSAGE TO "VALUES VOTERS"?
NOM blog flutters, "Christianity on trial". So Mormons are Christians these days? What else can Maggie mean, since the LDS were so heavily involved in Prop 8, with 20,000 feet on the ground, according to documents in evidence on Day 7? A day ago, she was talking about "traditional faiths". LDS are a traditional faith? Interesting. I suspect we'll see some fine print on that, you?
Clearly, it's not Christianity on trial. The problem is that referendums/plebiscites rather negate the constitutional promise of a Republic, in favor or a pure democracy that can discriminate against a minority group for any reason, so long as there is a flimsy one that can be asserted for formality.
Reading in the comments, some people just don't seem to understand why voting some tenants is not appropriate way to reach consensus in a pluralistic society, in a democratic Republic. Articulating a message to those people could be a way to strengthen the liberal and progressive appeal to self-identified "values voters".
