dems will challenge the constitutionality since the vote occurred after midnight.

Either way it's clear local Texas republicans just gave the national republican party a black eye. Nearly 200k people were watching this on youtube...

VRA+Texas shutting down virtually every abortion clinic in the state+like shitcanning of the immigration bill by the House SHOULD equal huge democrat gains next year. Unfortunately dat redistricting will make it hard to take the House.

Saw this on gaf explaining all the possibilities:



I'm thinking only California's will allow same-sex marriage again and the rest of the nation will be unaffected. Around what time do they usually announce these decisions?

The American executive being held captive inside his Chinese factory by his own workers insisted Wednesday he’s tried to leave the building, but has been blocked by angry employees at every turn.

“I tried the other day, and they all pretty much lock arms together and won’t let me go,” said Chip Starnes, speaking to TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie through the barred window of his office.“They’re very aggressive, they only let you go so far around the factory.”

Starnes is the 42-year-old chief executive of Specialty Medical Supplies, which has operated a plant just outside of Beijing for the last decade.

However, the company recently moved a part of its Chinese factory to India, laying off about 35 Chinese workers in the process. Each was provided a severance package. Remaining workers soon began demanding similar compensation deals, even though they were still employed, leading to the confrontation with Starnes.

Employees have prohibited their boss from leaving the building since last Friday, although Starnes said he has made several attempts.

Now we wait for the inevitable dispute caused by a married gay couple crossing state lines into a state where gay marriage is banned. It'll take some time to work its way up to the SC but it'll probably happen before 2016.

Also this ruling ensures that gay immigrant couples will be treated equally by the immigration bill, if it passes lol.
