Court blocks taping of gay marriage trial
(AP) WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court is blocking a broadcast of the trial on California's same-sex marriage ban, at least for the first few days.

The federal trial is scheduled to begin later Monday in San Francisco. It will consider whether the Proposition 8 gay marriage ban approved by California voters in November 2008 is legal.

The high court on Monday said it will not allow video of the trial to be posted on YouTube.com, even with a delay, until the justices have more time to consider the issue. It said that Monday's order will be in place at least until Wednesday.

2. we sure don't want a bunch of queens rioting and smashing cars
and store windows when we tell them they're not American.

ACTUALLY as I was typing that it occurred to me it's not us they're worried about, since we're more likely to hold hands and sing kumbaya (with the exception of me and few other hot heads).

It's not the revolting queens they're worried about, it's the revolting conservatives.
