Ah, the slippery slope

Sprechen Sie Englisch, Herr Gropenführer? By Mr. Terence Chua, Pissed Off And Loving It.

(thanks to mactavish for bringing it to my attention)

In an AP article, "San Francisco Honors Same-Sex Newlyweds", the Supreme Commandant of Stalag Kalifornia, Der Gropenführer Arnold Schwarzenegger is quoted as saying:

"In San Francisco, it is license for marriage of same sex. Maybe the next thing is another city that hands out licenses for assault weapons and someone else hands out licenses for selling drugs, I mean you can't do that," Schwarzenegger said Sunday on NBC.

I normally don't make fun of the way other people speak English, but I will in this case because I am a very, very small and petty man when it comes to numb-nuts like Schwarzenegger.

"In San Francisco, it is license for marriage of same sex." Well, fuck me.

As an encore, Arnold, why don't you for Great Justice, take off every Zig? You've been in the US how many years? There are New York cabbies just fresh off the last refugee plane from Baghdad just a step up from saying, "my hovercraft is full of eels," that speak better than you do. Repeat after me - a, an, the. A, an, the. Articles are your friends.

And of course, gay marriage is the same as a semi-automatic weapon spraying HORRIBLE FIERY DEATH and a drug fiend doped up on some primo horse. Fuckin' A, man - didn't you notice all those arms and drugs dealers standing on the steps of City Hall handing out ammo and vials of crack after the first couples got married the other day? All over the country, cities are just chomping at the bit to issue those drug dealing licenses. Mayors are just screaming to each other, "San Francisco did it, boys! The door's wide open!"

It. Simply. Boggles. The. Mind.

Can we recall this guy too?

Oaths of office

[pickledginger.livejournal.com]

Ah, but they almost always include an overriding obligation to defend and protect the constitutions of the state and the nation. Which is, arguably, exactly what the mayor of San Francisco is doing.

Knowingly enforcing an unconstitutional law? Now that would be a violation of his oath of office.

No law is unconstitutional until a court in position to say so rules that it is. Until such a ruling occurs, the law is the law, no matter how much prognostication goes into attemping to divine what a court might say in the future.
