		<description>More bad law against the will of the people?  According to the Founding Fathers, the people were indeed trustworthy to have a say in an interactive constitutional republic; but no longer.  Backdoor homosexual marriage laws in Maine are definitely not constitutional and certainly no constitutional scholar would ever claim original intent in the many papers and documents written by the authors of the Constitution.  The new law will never stand up to judicial review, especially in lieu of the bootleg tactic that was used to make the bill law.  The other travesty today is that the U.S. Congress wants to include convicted pedophiles as recipients and benefactors to hate crime protections.  Yet, when it was proposed that American veterans be included in the protection, every Democrat voted “No.”  Are we headed somewhere as a nation that we ought not to go?  When pedophiles and homosexuals are given “special” and “enhanced” protections under the law, and veterans are not, isn’t there something wrong?</description>
