Bork and the Republicans Call for End to Gay Rights

From The Washington Post, 15 August 2005, "Conservatives Rally for Justices":

"Rejected Supreme Court nominee Robert H. Bork warned that the high court has defined homosexuality as 'a constitutional right . . . and once homosexuality is defined as a constitutional right, there is nothing the states can do about it, nothing the people can do about it.'"

And still Republicans try to play events like this ("Justice Sunday II") as mainstream? Bork actually implies to "the 2,200 mostly white people in Two Rivers Baptist Church" that homosexuality should be unconstitutional? Huh? Given that the majority of Americans don't see gay marriage as an issue that electrifies them, a statement like Bork's seems pretty extremist. According to a mid-July, 2005 Pew Research Center for the People and the Press poll (scroll to very bottom of page for details), 53% of Americans support civil unions, 36% support gay marriage.

It's just a matter of time before the state constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage get knocked down as unconstitutional. (I hope.)
