Droopy Drawers Drive VA House to Distraction

[MountainLaurel]

I often don't agree with Marc Fisher, but he seems spot on here about the hypocrisy of VA legislators. On one hand, they're all about individual rights like carrying a gun into a bar, but yet they're obsessed with what happens in someone's personal life.

Attention, parents: The state of Virginia understands that you lead busy lives, but lawmakers are confident that you will be only too happy to tack just one more task onto your morning routine -- a quick pants check as the kids head out the door.

The House of Delegates voted 60 to 34 Tuesday to impose a $50 fine on anyone found wearing pants low enough that a substantial portion of undergarments is showing. Note the vote: It wasn't even close.

But there is an odd gap in Virginia's protection of your liberties. Somehow, these same legislators are only too happy to get inside your marriage, your bedroom and even your pants.

The General Assembly, which in recent years passed bills banning same-sex marriage and prohibiting civil unions and other partnership contracts, feels compelled this year to add a constitutional amendment defining marriage as a bond between a man and a woman.
