I did my part:

I voted for Kerry, I voted against Cynthia McKinney and fricking Johnny Isaksen, I voted against the Georgia marriage amendment. Lot of good those did. At least my guy for State House won by 200 votes. And scary judge appellate judge man is in a runoff.

I find the marriage amendment particularly perplexing. Beyond the fact that I don't understand why people care so much about other people's business, I don't understand how the Georgia amendment could possible fail to violate the US Constitution. Not that this appeared on the ballot or anything, but the amendment as written contained two clauses that I believe are illegal. One which says that Georgia will fail to recognise legal civil unions of other states. Um, full faith and credit? Another which says that Georgia courts will not adjudicate cases involving property disputes arising from civil unions. How does that not violate due process? You know, Georgia, just because people are gay does not mean that they are not citizens. I am honestly perplexed here. If anyone can explain why these clauses are legal, I'd be interested to hear.

Oh well. That one at least will end up in court.
