Massachussettes “found” a right to gay marriage in their Constitution by apparently using a weegee (yes, it’s grossly mispelled but sorry, I don’t keep up with pagan practices to know correct spelling, I’ve never seen it in print to remember) board. The Supreme Court declined to overturn that truly idiotic...
