Presidential historian pleads guilty to stealing documents

There should be something in the constitution that says if you still a national treasure you are no longer american!

This guy obviously wanted to relive through himself the moive National Treasure and steel all posible documents. If the movie is anything similar to real life I do believe that it would have been harder for him to get to the actual Constitution of the US, especially if it is heat sensative! LOL!

Anyway he got away with it for a while let's hope no one else follows in those footsteps.

What does Proposition 8 ruling mean to California.

Proposition 8, the initiative passed by voters in 2008, is unconstitutional, a violation of the rights of gay and lesbian people who want to get married.

In this article you will read in detail what is going on with this case of same-sex marriage. One big supprising thing to me is not the ruling but the reason why they ruled it unconstitutional as this attorney explains it:

 Instead of ruling that there is a constitutional right to same-sex marriage in all circumstances, the court issued a narrower ruling. The judges said that the peculiar circumstances in California – a right to same-sex marriage withdrawn by a vote of the public – was unconstitutional.

huh?
