According  to  the  newspaper  report  I  read,   the  Supreme  Court
explicitly declined to consider whether  or not  their ruling applied
to heterosexuals.  The law  the upheld,  however, does  apply to gays
and straights alike.  

>Could someone please confirm this?  If true, it seems that much of the
>hysteria coming from straights is highly exaggerated.

Some straights think gays are people, too.  The  ruling is atrocious,
even if it only applies to one-legged black jewish  gays with spanish
surnames who are children of Viet Nam veterans.  

So  are  the  other supreme  court rulings  I've heard  lately.  Does
anyone know if there is ANY way to recall a supreme court justice, as
there is for most of their state counterparts?
