A problem with redirecting people to the Blogger start page has been fixed.
Go ahead and bring up whatever subjects you want. Budget, candidates, the new pope (not technically a CT issue, but the large Catholic population in our state makes him very relevant) and whatever else matters to you.

I guess I'll continue my civil unions conversation in here...
I had said that I thought the 18+ ammendment on civil unions give a great argument for seperate but equal, since it creates a clear difference between civil unions and marriage.
Ghengis pointed out that marriages requires parental consent, which is true, but the 18+ ammendment to the civil unions bill takes away the ability to get parental consent to enter into a civil union.
I would think that if a 17 year old sued the state for not letting him get married to his partner (because civil unions aren't available to him), the Supreme Court might rule that the civil union bill simply creates a "seperate" institution that is clearly unequal.
A question I have... does anyone know the answer? Will the court rule on this if by the time it gets to the Supreme Court the boy has turned 18 and get a civil union? What's the legal precedent on that? I know there's a term for it, but I forget what it is...
Here's a bit of event "whoring": AM 1300 in New Haven is going to have Stephanie Miller doing her radio show live on Monday and Tuesday.
Anyone know which of the local luminaries are going to show? Anyone in the Dem establishment going?
I just wanted to share this. I am bringing my family because I think it is important to stand with those that re being oppressed.
