Today in WTF?

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at this:

Now, [Texas State] Rep. [Molly} White has filed a bill that she believes would effectively nullify any U.S. Supreme Court ruling that would find a right for same-sex couples to marry.

White's bill, HB 2555, would amend Texas law to state that its ban against same-sex marriage would "apply regardless of whether a federal court ruling or other federal law provides that a prohibition against the creation or recognition of a same-sex marriage or a civil union is not permitted under the United States Constitution."

Apparently, Rep. White (who we all remember for displaying the flag of Israel in her office on Texas' Muslim Capitol Day) has never heard of the Supremacy Clause -- or much else having to do with the American Constitution, American law, or American history.

Note to Texas voters: If you don't want to look like idiots, stop electing idiots to state office.

Voters in Texas (among other places) are immune to hints, immune to facts, immune to legalities. We can laugh at them all we want, point out the stupidities, try to teach them how to correct their legal approach (but only that), but they will continue to march to their own arrhythmic cadence. The individual reigns supreme, albeit reduced to the lowest level of intelligence or awareness of reality -- misinformed, uninformed, paranoid, and just plain stupid.
