Whatever happens doesn’t change the fact that Scott Walker is a disgusting, vicious, bigoted piece of filth:

How can you support him knowing he does such despicable things? What could possibly be worth such a gutless and unprincipled selling out of human decency?

Simple: I don’t consider it a serious wrong. Wisconsin decided against both gay marriage and civil unions and wrote prohibitions on both into their state constitution. This is part of that. I’m not in favor of it, but it is part of a “concede nothing” policy; The idea being that giving a gay couple any rights traditionally associated with marriage will form a ‘pryebar’ for getting gay marriage adopted through the courts.

The ‘hospital rule’ is not about hate and instead is about a coherent policy.
