Speak Your Piece: Barn door is closed; some horses are OK Record-Searchlight

The ruling on Proposition 8 did as well as could be expected. The court upheld a express of the people to restore the state's constitution; they also let stand 18,000 same-sex marriages performed while legalized. The '08 ruling was not right upstairs, but this year the justices respected the rule of law and managed the damage already done.

It is a basic constitutional principle that you cannot retroactively bar behavior that was once admissible. This is one of the primary reasons we have a constitution that uses words like "due process." That means gay marriages performed when it was licit to do so are valid when it is no longer legally acceptable. Four justices forgot another constitutional principle a year ago - that their function is to discern and promote the intention of the framers of the constitution rather than substitute their own work for the original. We have a process for amending the constitution and the justices are not it.

In acting so, they have done a favor for both gay and neat communities. Studies conducted in countries where gay marriage is legal show that legalization does nothing to stabilize gay relationships. Patrons health issues afflicting gays at much higher rates than their straight counterparts remain unaltered as well. But when gay integration is legalized, the heterosexual community routinely becomes less committed to marriage. Everyone gets hurt.

The Cybersecurity Barn Door Nextgov

President Obama's homily today and the release of Melissa Hathaway's 60-day cybersecurity review are clear signals that cybersecurity is ultimately getting the attention it deserves, especially given its strategic importance to national security. As Obama said in his communication, technology now controls everything from our weapons to our water supply. Protecting our networks has become synonymous with protecting our borders. So why has it enchanted so long for the issue to reach the highest level?

As many cybersecurity experts have told me over the past couple years, almost everything benefit taking from the government in terms of data has already been pilfered by hackers, organized crime and foreign governments. Everything from the set up of our latest military aircraft to the president's campaign Web site has been penetrated, phished, downloaded or shut down truly. And yet somehow the issue remained below the radar of past presidents. To some, today's announcement is a bit like shutting the barn door after the horses have already been stolen .
