The Constitution mostly places limits on what the federal government can do. Only in a few instances does it restrict what states can do. Even a state cannot, for example, infringe on the people’s right to bear arms or to engage in the free exercise of religion. A state can’t send a senator to the U.S. Congress if he is under 30 years old. But except for a few instances like these, the Constitution leaves states free to govern themselves as they see fit.

Then as now, liberals protect themselves from detection with wild calumnies against anybody who opposes them. They have no interest in — or aptitude for — persuasion. Their goal is to anathematize their enemies.

If Chicago had been hit, I assure you New Yorkers would not have cared. What was stunning when New York was hit was how the rest of America rushed to New York's defense. New Yorkers would have been like, "It's tough for them; now let's go back to our Calvin Klein fashion shows."

Gay marriage has been on the ballot in ,um, three dozen, more than three dozen states. Every state when the people are allowed to vote have rejected it, including this state (California), including Maine, including Oregon.

Not cohabitating partners.
