Sounds like someone with Borderline Personality Disorder..Fluctuates from one opinion to another, from one idea to another, from one husband to another...Always black and white, never in the shade of gray.

Hollywood women do this all the time......do they get questioned about their ever changing minds?
I question laws that can be changed at the drop of a hat by the Federal courts and people just clap as if it's a good thing.
How would you like to be at a job and find out the next day (after being in office for many years, voted in by the people) you could not stand on both feet all day?
Even though SSM is something that should be brought forward and talked about, the way the courts did it was not the right way.

Despite how some pundits have overblown various poll results, the facts speak for themselves. Only 11 states, acting either through their people directly or through their elected legislators, have chosen to redefine marriage. The rest of the states have either continued to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman or have been thwarted -- by state or federal courts -- in their attempt to retain marriage as it has always and everywhere been defined.
That this picture is hardly "an emerging awareness" goes without saying. Indeed, even Justice Kennedy's opinion admits that "[a]fter years of litigation, legislation, referenda, and... discussions... the States are... divided on the issue."
So if there is a trend to speak of, it is not one of a growing consensus, but of a debate cut short, bit by bit, by a litany of judicial usurpations, culminating in Friday's ruling.
This is no way to run a republic.
In his Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln spoke of a "government of the people, by the people, for the people." The most important words in that most memorable phrase are "the people," for it is to them that freedom belongs and to them that its protection is entrusted.
The Supreme Court has overridden a goodly portion of the freedom that is the birthright of every American. It is now our task, using legitimate and appropriate channels, to wrest it back, and then, much like Lincoln's audience, to preserve it for future generations.

If we waited for each and every citizen in each and every state to change unjust (and unconstitutional) laws, there would still be schools segregated by law, entire communities legally "redlined," people of color forced to take a test in order to register to vote, etc., etc. …
No … The courts are getting it RIGHT in the case of GLBT marriages …
But, yes, the SCOTUS decision did come in part out of a "growing consensus" and for sure, the heated discussions continue … E.g., some people have proposed bringing forward a constitutional amendment to ban GLBT marriages … No one is stopping that movement …
THAT is the way "we the people" run our republic ("with liberty and justice for ALL," including GLBT citizens … See: the 14th amendment) ...
This is what I mean. Would a real liberal, a true progressive, call a person a hayseed? Is bias based on social class or where someone lives now OK with liberals?
It is perfectly fine to demean certain groups. As long as it is politically correct to do so.
In case you're interested in history, that was actually called a Southern Democrat. They became Democrats because the Republicans were stomping all over their rights to own slaves. Eventually that got old so they changed back to being Republicans again.
Huh???
Do a quick search on "Southern Strategy". It will explain how the Republicans won over many of the Southern "Yellow Dog Democrats". (hint: racism)
I'm guessing the Dem's berated her and the Republicans offered her candy!
