I don't see her nominating Supreme Court justices that would undo marriage equality.

Instead of trying to tear Hillary down. Now u haz a sad.

That where it was pulled out of.

Sid

we plan on snacking on them.

She's already said she'd compromise on abortion. The problem is she doesn't have a moral compass, she has a weathervane. Every position is based on immediate political expediency. For example, if the Republicans pushed through a bill banning gay marriage, put it on President Clintons desk, and told her they'd back off on impeachment if she signed it...would she? In a heartbeat.

True Democrats like George Takei are supporting her.

Have a wonderful day and week.

Would you answer question 27 below. Thanks in advance.

She'd "compromise on abortion", "doesn't have a moral compass", "weathervane" - and then there's the bonus bullshit about "impeachment".

Well done - if you're into that sort of crap.

Bernie budgeted $16 million for this kind of shit.

You're not supposed to mention that.

After she stated she was willing to look at stopping late term abortions, I don't even trust her with abortion now.

I do not trust her to nominate progressives or even liberals to the Supreme court - because she backtracked on abortion rights and she came to the table decades late on other liberal issues she should have been for from the start - including civils and gay rights. I expect her to not want to legalize marijuana and to lock up more people to enrich private prisons who still have one of their lobbyists in her campaign and did donate to her super pac until she was exposed for it and gave their money back 6 months ago.

That she saw MLK speak as a teen then joined the Goldwater movement in college tells me it all about her.
How the hell does someone see MLK speak and then join the movement against civil rights? I will never be okay with that. And that information comes straight from her biography. I don't trust her for a second with blacks, other minorities, or anyone's rights except stanch white fundy Christians. Let's not forget she goes to a fundy right wing church.

When she was a senator and she kept voting with the Republicans she kept giving us liberals a very cold shoulder. I fully expect that will happen when she gets elected. She is going to be a very dangerous war president. I expect we will be at war with Iran within a year of her being elected, if not sooner. We'll be watching Hillary trying to sell her war to congress like Bush did with Iraq.

When we criticize her for war and death she's going to play the female card.

Do you think a woman/couple should be allowed to have a late term abortion at 9 months to harvest body parts to sell for profit?

Should be allowed to decide when they can have an abortion.

That's exactly what I've come to expect from Hillary voters.

about the issue.

Devoid of depth, a simple one-liner question or observation.

Hillary Clinton is solidly on the side of LGBTQ rights. No question.

Soundly for marriage equality, right in time with the USSC hearing of oral arguments of legalization of gay marriage.

PolitiFact ruling: FULL FLOP

So, did she support it in 2000? Nope.
January 2000: At a news conference in White Plains, Clinton said, "Marriage has got historic, religious and moral content that goes back to the beginning of time, and I think a marriage is as a marriage has always been, between a man and a woman. But I also believe that people in committed gay marriages, as they believe them to be, should be given rights under the law that recognize and respect their relationship."

Well, in 2007, she must have evolved by then. Nope.
May 2007: In a questionnaire for the Human Rights Campaign in 2007, Clinton backed away from the Defense of Marriage Act:

"I support repealing the provision of DOMA that may prohibit the federal government from providing benefits to people in states that recognize same-sex marriage."

In response to a question about whether marriage should be made legally available to two committed adults of the same sex, Clinton marked that she was "opposed" though she stated she supported civil unions.

"Clinton opposed same-sex marriage as a candidate for the Senate, while in office as a senator, and while running for president in 2008".

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/jun/17/hillary-clinton/hillary-clinton-change-position-same-sex-marriage/

Unlike Bernie, who probably still owns socks bought in 1971, most people evolve and change over time.

My post was in response to the point she has always supported LGBTQ rights and by implication, gay marriage.

That is unambiguously false. Advocating for "civil unions, separate but equal" is the opposite of being a leader in LGBTQ rights.

so, just for some rights? Glad she wasn't part of Lincoln's administration.

No need to worry about that particular issue.

Move on.

Bill Clinton appointed Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

I see no sign this court will change the status quo, and I don't see HRC nominating anyone too conservative. Bill put RBG and Breyer on the court.

Our system is not so terrible as it is made out to be.

That was a major change and forced states like Kentucky to accept it. Thus the whole Kim Davis debacle.

However, it is definitely jeopardized by allowing a GOP to win.

a subsequent President cannot change it all by themselves. Congress cannot change that now that the SCOTUS has ruled.

forever.

Part of the reason why same-sex marriage is now legal throughout the United States is because corporations and industries wanted it.

They saw the trends of acceptance trending, in recent years, and they had the money and influence to help get it to happen. (After all, the LGBT community—and the individuals’ personal finances—were stunningly underappreciated.)

One of the beautiful things was when they rolled over the religious institutions.

The Pope, observant of those developing trends, spearheaded a trend to get more acceptance. Smart.

This is not going to get reversed. The backward stuff is done in areas where it can be snuck through … temporarily. That will not last. Same-sex marriage, throughout the United States, is permanent. No fears of big, bad Republicans are necessary. (What they say in front of a camera is one thing. Behind the scenes—they don’t care.)

Now I have a question for you: Explain how you think Clinton could jeopardize gay marriage. And also explain her votes against the confirmation of John Roberts and Samuel Alito while you're at it.

obviously.
what harm did he cause, anyway?

How. Do. You. Think. Clinton. Could. Jeopardize. Gay. Marriage?

How. Do. You. Explain. Her. Votes. Against. John. Roberts. And. Samuel. Alito?

who voted for the IWR (with exceptional intelligence) and disqualified herself from anything except the Hague.

Maybe you can just resort to responding to every post with "Because" or maybe" I'm rubber, you're glue; whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you."

Bill Clinton gave us some great justices on the Supreme Court.

I am sure Hillary's position on gay marriage was just like Obama's. They got along to get along. That genie is not going back in the bottle and she won't try to put it there.

Can't people just lose with dignity? Is that too much to ask?

or whatever.

IN THE FINAL DAYS leading up to Maryland’s Democratic voters going to the polls on Tuesday to choose their U.S. Senate nominee, Rep. Donna Edwards has been barraged by ads and mailers from the Super PAC backing her opponent, Rep. Chris Van Hollen, called the Committee for Maryland’s Progress.

A television ad assails Edwards as “one of the least effective members of Congress,” contrasting her career with Van Hollen’s legislative record. It mentions no foreign policy issues, despite the dominant issue motivating one of the Super PAC’s largest funders.

She's not an ideologue. She has her opinions, but if the majority of the people move to her left on an issue, she reassesses, and almost always decides that the people are right. The public opinion is strongly in favor of gay marriage and has been so for a few years now. Ergo, marriage equality will be safe under HRC.

Honestly, I think it is great to have a president who respects the people. President Obama is the same way: he was initially against gay marriage but came around when the public decided to support gay rights. What all this means is that when HRC is president, we should all work hard at the grassroots level to advance progressive causes, to make sure she does not move to the center. FDR himself said, "Make me do it."

anyone in the Democratic Party?

I don't think you did because your post is a non-sequitur.

That's pretty unusual.
