Wow lawyers screwing over their clients - but with a legit excuse this time.
Amazing, usually they just screw you over without one...
I wonder how many people are sitting in jail who paid that guy thousands of dollars to "Defend" them.
Screw the drug testing stuff right now, how about we focus on all the poor people sitting in jail because their lawyer was smoking Heroin. I bet they might be a little mad right now and thinking they deserve a fair shake. Call me crazy.

I know someone just just got a DUI and blew a .09 3 weeks ago.
He's getting:
$3000 in court/legal fines.
4 days picking up trash on the side of the freeway.
3 years probation
3 months alcohol classes
30 days suspended license
4 months restricted license.
And that's after he paid $2000 on a lawyer.
It's nice to know we treat our local celebs so kindly around here, but the average working class gets the full brunt of the law.
F@KC the poilice!

The true bigots here are the gay people who are crucifying and trying to guilt people who don't think like they do.
Sure it's ok to have different views, as long as they are the same as yours.
I am all for gay rights, but why do we call "Same Sex Marriage" just that? Why is there "Same Sex" appended to the front of the word marriage? Well because it's NOT the same thing. If it was, we wouldn't have to say "Same Sex Marriage".
We didn't change the meaning of the word "Vote" when our elected officials gave minorities and women the rights to vote did we? We don't say "Women Votes" or "White Men Votes" do we?
I for one think it's irresponsible for our generation to change a centuries old institution to fit with what we think is right today.
And no, I'm not religious. But that doesn't change what the institution of marriage is, or that because I'm not religious I have to shut my eyes and ignore where it came from or respect what it means to other people.
The people opposed to Prop 8 don't really care what other peoples views are. They are "right", period. That is the true definition of a Bigot, exactly what they are saying they are against.
Pot, kettle, black...

In California a Domestic Partnership affords you all the rights and responsibilities as a hetero married couple.
Anyone who claims otherwise either doesn't know the law or is trying to pull one over on you.
Gays don't care about the "rights" associated with marriage, they want the perceived respect and dignity that goes along with the institution of marriage. The respect and dignity that hetero couples get - because the institution of marriage has existed for thousands of years and has garnered it.
That's the 500lbs Gorilla in the room no one wants to point out. Rather then addressing the respect and dignity issue, we would rather spend $70 million fighting over the definition of a word that the majority of Californians don't want to change.
Even the judges on the state Supreme Court that turned over Prop 22 agreed to that fact, and stated so in their decision.
How did African-Americans, Latinos and other minority groups get that respect and dignity they deserved? Education.
No law is going to govern how people THINK or form their personal opinions. The government is NOT the thought police.
No one wants to be FORCED to have to do something.

Church and State are separate.
Religion and Politics are not.
I have an idea, lets put up a ballot measure to change the meaning of the word GAY back to it's original meaning: "Happy and gleeful". I wonder how the gay community will feel about that.
And all you sore people screaming about civil and human rights, you are merely reciting the can lines you've learned from No on 8 web sites and others who are in your boat.
It's not a civil rights issue. It's not a human rights issue. You can't compare it to the struggle of slavery or the holocaust. I mean do people even know what are the issues in front of the court right now?
Does it have anything to do with civil or human rights? No, it has to do with the legality of the amendment to the states constitution. Gays aren't mentioned, marriage isn't mentioned, Mormons aren't mentioned, etc, etc.
It's down to the last gasp legal gambit that hinges on semantics and word play.
Prop 8 will ultimately stand in the California Supreme Court. I hope this sends a clean message to activists judges that, at least in California, the people will no longer sit by and let them "make up" laws from the bench.

Go goats! Up in NorCal where I'm from, they use goats all over the place for stuff like this.
I think I want to get a pet goat now, haha!

In California we have the Domestic Partner law. This law specifically states that same sex couples gain the EXACT same rights within California as a strait married couple.
Marriages rights/laws are dictated by each state, so saying something like your federal taxes are different and what not would still be the case unless the Feds change their tax laws, etc.
And being this is a California deal, talking about the feds is kind of out of the scope of it all since nothing we do here in California will or can make the feds do anything (i.e. our medical marijuana laws).

We can debate on prop 8 all day long, that's healthy.
This article is what sucks.

And dang, we have the News-Press placing ads on Fox News Channel (no hiding they lean right), and now this paper has turned into their 180 opposite (i.e. way left leaning MSNBC).
What happened to a normal run of the mill, semi unbiased paper?
At least with the print version I can skip to the bands and events section...

What happened to the review. This is more of a book report on what happened.
I was also in attendance of this show, but I'd have to say it was more like 70% capacity and the show, honestly, was pretty poor. The breaks between the sets were longer then the sets themselves. But he greenery on the stage was fun to look at.
