My fear - and it has building for a decade and a half, because I’ve seen this movement up-close from within and also on the front lines of the marriage wars - is that once one party becomes a church with unchangeable doctrines, and once it has supplanted respect for institutions and civility with the radical pursuit of timeless doctrines and hatred of governing institutions, then our democracy is in grave danger.”

just got an update from the wife -

lefan-o-rama:

democratic legeslators are still listening to concerned citizens - THEY HAVE NOT STOPPED ANYONE FROM SPEAKING YET!

11 am and wisconsin citizen voices are still being heard.  this means we are approaching 24 hours of a democratic led session when the republicans went home at 3am.
