I know I'm getting old,

but I'm used to some things never being said by an elected official anywhere in these United States. OK, I know many a politician has thought this sentiment privately, but no matter what the stand on what issue, there was a time when it would have been unthinkable to say this aloud about any proposed law: "Who really cares about it being unconstitutional?" said Councilwoman Tonya Payne, a supporter." Details here . I've got to give the anti gay marriage crowd this much- at least they're trying to operate within the system by legally amending the Constitution. It's better to have a legal enemy than an anarchist ally.
