It's started the ball rolling, and the federal Constitution [I]will[/I] win over state laws whenever the final verdict is brought down. Precedent's been set, what you're seeing here are the bigots digging their heels into the dirt and trying to drag time backwards.

[QUOTE=BlueChihuahua;44316192]Some of the counties here are still extremely red. A few towns I cross even have "Jesus Saves" and pro-life billboards peppered everywhere. I wonder how they'll react? More obnoxious adverts on the TV?[/QUOTE]

I can't help but start humming the deliverance theme whenever I drive through a place like that... They remind me of the Top Gear episode where they drove through Alabama.
