Despite being a liberal, I don't usually read The Huffington Post

but this was priceless:

California Gov. Jerry Brown Sends Ben Carson The Climate Evidence He Couldn't Find: "Climate change is much bigger than partisan politics."

California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) mailed Carson a copy of the synthesis report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), along with a letter asking Carson to utilize his "considerable intelligence" to review the material. The IPCC is the scientific body created by the United Nations Environment Program and the World Meteorological Organization to provide regular assessments of the state of climate science for policymakers.

Brown's letter came after Carson asked to see the science demonstrating climate change was caused by human activity during a visit to California earlier this week.

"I know there a lot of people who say 'overwhelming science,' but then when you ask them to show the overwhelming science, they never can show it," Carson told The San Francisco Chronicle. "There is no overwhelming science that the things that are going on are man-caused and not naturally caused."

"Gimme a break," Carson added.

Top Lawyer Urges Voiding California Proposition 8

The Attorney General, Jerry Brown said: 'Proposition 8 must be invalidated because the amendment process cannot be used to extinguish fundamental constitutional rights without compelling justification.'

Another brief filed by opponents to same-sex marriage asks that the roughly 18,000 marriages performed already be invalidated.

No matter how much they try, you can't legislate love. When Barack Obama was born, there were some states that would not have allowed his parents to marry. My own state would not allow it until 1967, when several laws throughout the US were overturned by the Loving v. Virginia decision. Bans on interracial marriage (called anti-miscegenation laws, by the way) are wrong, and so is banning same-sex marriage. It's a matter of basic rights, period. I firmly believe that in my lifetime bans on same-sex marriage will fall throughout the United States and gay couples will be free to express their committed love in the same way heterosexual couples can.
