We cats took a moment from our confetti tossing and horn blowing over today's Supreme Court expansion of marriage equality to check on our favorite right-wing bloviators on the Interwebs, the folks at Free Republic. We were worried about them.
And we were right to be, because the Freeps are not in good shape. They've interrupted their nonstop Ebola paranoia to bemoan the latest developments in what they call "the homosexual agenda."
Oh, are they upset. They're frantically searching for a way to get America back to the 1950s before God smites us all for our sins. And as they kick around ideas, there are two that we find absolutely delicious.
Article V — Amend the Constitution. We cats love this, because an amendment requires two-thirds of both houses of Congress, or two-thirds of the state legislatures, calling for a Constitutional Convention. What fun! We can't think of a faster way for American conservatism in general and the Republican Party in particular to commit collective suicide. Sadly for us, though, a couple of the saner commenters have pointed this out to their fellow Freeps. Darn.
Secession — Our favorite! Ya know, if South Carolina, which is part of the Fourth Circuit and also affected by today's non-decision, wants to replay December 1860, it's fine by us. But first, of course, we have to get Lady Lindsey on the record... about everything.
We cats will have more to say about the political ramifications of all this. Until then, we think we'll toddle down to the Prince William County courthouse and see what's going on. (For example, has Michele McQuigg barricaded herself in her office? Inquiring minds want to know!) In the meantime, we PURR.
