Eddie, you are your own biggest fan to be sure.You continue to attempt to belittle others by name calling, a strategy most of us stopped using in 2nd grade. You refuse to accept the fact that like any other profession, there are bad lawyers, there are corrupt lawyers. etc. Do you consider the work done by our Congress exemplary? Do you feel that the politicians, by and large, do what is best for their constituents? Do you believe that the vast majority of our politicians do not engage in either influence peddling and/or conflict of interest? gute Nacht, t?uschen Sie - your Nazi friend, Ferd

Edward ror the 100th time I DO NOT CONDEM ALL LAWYERS.

!st I respect all attorneys for the time and education they put in to better their lives.

Where the respect ends is with( most not all) Personal injury attorneys--class action lawsuits ect.

I have many friends and clients that are attorneys.

I have used immigration and corporate attorneys myself in past year and confer with estate attorney's many times during year.

Have the utmost respect for public defenders as many truely believe in cause vs pocket book.

Have utmost respect for criminal defence attorneys with a few exceptions like Gerigos and few other high profile ones.

So you "opinion" of me dissing all attorneys simply won't float.

It has never been your being a PI attourney that that I have probs with cause you may be the good guy--I hope so anyway--it is your opinions and justifications I have probs with.

Well, it looks to us as though it's over with. Not only did the amendment fail to win the 67 votes required for ratification; it never even came to an actual vote. Rather, the Senate rejected a motion for "cloture," which required the assent of 60 members and would have allowed a vote on the amendment itself. Of great symbolic importance, the vote to allow a vote didn't even command the support of a majority of senators. The vote was 50-48 against cloture. (The two absentee senators, Kedwards, said they would have voted "no.")

This means that supporters of same-sex marriage can claim for the first time to have prevailed in a democratic process, which will lend political legitimacy to the inevitable court decisions awarding gay couples the right to marry--already in Massachusetts, later in a few other states, and ultimately throughout the country. The question is no longer whether America will allow men to marry men and women women, but how soon, in how many states, and when the federal courts will start turning this into national policy.
