And the country erupts in chaos. Marriages are popping up everywhere! Anti-gay marriage activists are shocked and angry. And caught in the crossfire are tons of people who think this country is going mildly insane. You cannot open a paper these days without an article, editorial or picture of something involving gay marriage. Go Massachusetts for causing a national riot, and go San Francisco for starting the "plague" of political activism that is leading to marriages all across the nation. Well Dubya, what are you going to do now? It is no long the activist judges causing the problems. It is the elected officials of the states who are taking matters into their own hands.

Now granted, I must say I give my own AG Spitzer some credit. From findlaw:

In New York, Attorney General Eliot Spitzer issued an opinion saying state law bars such unions. But he added that it is the courts' job to determine whether the law is constitutional.

"I personally would like to see the law changed, but must respect the law as it now stands," Spitzer said in a statement. He said New York's law contains references to "bride and groom" and "husband and wife" and does not authorize same-sex marriage.

I can respect that the man is willing to uphold the law as it stands, but is also calling for change. That to me is the essence of a good AG. Because if you do not uphold the law of the land, you really do have that the anarchy that this article talks about.

Note: I realize that I am constantly talking about the gay marriage issue. Sorry, but as a legal dork in boston, I just can't help it. I promise to write about something different next time. I swear...
