Never heard once a person saying gay marriage was a slippery slope, that was the end of the slope. Only argument I heard was that the term "marriage" was a religious joining of a couple before their god, so thereby calling gay people living together marriage instead of civil unions or whatever, all you've done is tear down any religious aspect of marriage. Our secular society has decided that is the way to go, so that has been done, that ship sailed and really the slope has hit the bottom of the canyon. Now you can (in some states) "marry" anything you want, sexes, species be darned.

Point of order:

Nobody cares your take on gay marriage or my take, that wasn’t my point. The point was Mayor Pete using an inaccurate slippery slope argument (that approving the 5th largest airline would leave people with 2 airlines) is as ridiculous as saying if a state allows two humans to marry, it can turn to a person marrying an animal.
This isn’t about gay marriage. This is about a man making a false equivalence.

The journey towards the blue shirt
what are you guys think a realistic scenario is going forward?
trial delayed till November? finish the trial at the end of November maybe not because of Thanksgiving then it gets pushed back into the early part of December?
judge sides with the Jetblue merger, and all is good?
or big chance it gets pushed back further into December? then, if that’s the case doesn’t that void the merger? because we have a time limit of before the end of the year.

so, with the impending government shut down, looks like it might be taking a little bit longer to wear the blue shirt.
