The Staton Jones Report

Check out this CNN story about Benton County, OR. The county commissioners voted to halt issuing any marriage certificates until the gay marriage issue is resolved in their state's supreme court.

"It may seem odd," Benton County Commissioner Linda Modrell told Reuters in a telephone interview, but "we need to treat everyone in our county equally."

This is easily as idiotic as the Supreme Court's decision in 2000 to halt the recount because they couldn't decide on a way to rule fairly in light of the Voting Rights Act, which is another way to say "we had to kill them to save them." Under most wingnut wordings of the Anti-gay Marriage Amendment, my non-church wedding would not be recognized either.
