""As ever, the casualties of spurious political issues are the objects of said issues.
This discussion has been all about Conservative v "Liberal" and nothing to do with anybodys "rights",""

IN YOUR OPINION, of course.


Rights in LAW are precisely what it is about, and those are, or at least should be, totally independent of politics.

Of course, as legislators, the government are bound to play a part, but that part should not change with different governments.

It is a matter of law. The government legislates, and the judiciary interpret, and enforce, the legislation. Where, in that setup, do you see mention of politics.

The Constitution, by which Americans profess to set such store, enshrines the rights of "CITIZENS".

Nowhere in it do I see any mention of exceptions, NO "Except for Jews", NO "Except for Germans", NO "Except for Blacks", and equally NO "Except for Homosexuals".

By what twisted perversion of logic do you justify your statement that it is "Not about anybody's rights"?
