Chief Justice doesn't seem to buy the label change

Highly dubious of Chief Justice John Roberts after that debacle of an Obamacare ruling, he nonetheless seems to hit the bullseye in regards to the point that supporters of Prop 8, and thus opponents to same-sex marriage nationwide, have made from the start: words mean things.
“If you tell a child that somebody has to be their friend, I suppose you can force the child to say ‘this is my friend,’ but it changes the definition of what it means to be a friend. And that’s, it seems to me, what supporters of Proposition 8 are saying here. All you’re interested in is the label, and you insist on changing the definition of the label.”
Seems to me Roberts is saying, 'look, you've got civil unions in California...stop trying to redefine an existing institution.' Here's hoping that he won't deviate from that common sense...



There really isn't that much difference? Umm, I think you heard that incorrectly, pal. There's plenty of differences between these institutions, but you're still afforded the same rights as a living, breathing human being in America regardless of your sexual preference.

Why is that never good enough for the Left? Instead, like everything else, they seek to force their agenda on everyone, wrapping it in civil rights and the like (when it's not), and demanding that tradition, morality, principle, all of it be redefined according to their progression or whim.

ADDENDUM: Rush appropriately ripped the 'brain-dead' Mediaite reporter from which I referenced the video above (one reason I didn't feel the need to include the cockamamie article itself)...
