Sorry; I already took mine. When are you going to catch up?

The notwithstanding clause has been used in the past and could surely be used again, no1.

Yes it has been used before 15 times actually.

But Conservatives are only ones that would use it and they would need a majority to use it, which is unlikely and by the time they ever get one this will no longer be an issue.

Actually, the time Bourassa used it he was part of the Quebec Liberals.

Bourassa didn't use it on this issue, James

Gregoire refuses to push gay marriage

Gov. Christine Gregoire on Friday became the first acting governor to address the Gay and Lesbian Leadership Conference in its 21-year history but sidestepped the hottest gay rights issue in the state: same-sex marriage.

But even in the gay-friendly heart of the county that almost single-handedly delivered her victory in one of the closest gubernatorial elections in history, Gregoire refused to endorse same-sex marriage.

She noted the much-anticipated state Supreme Court ruling on the issue as important, but she did not reveal her personal opinion on the subject.

Well I hope Washington state Supreme court does the right thing and legalize ssm.

Jo, can you post or PM to me a link to that cartoon? I'd love to link to it on another forum where this same topic is being discussed - it's perfect!

Thanks!
