  1. Gay Marriage Foes: ‘Til Disclosure Do Us Part? | Mother Jones<\/a> – Good Lord — I may actually have to put a quote from Antonin Scalia in my WIST database: “There are laws against threats and intimidation; and harsh criticism, short of unlawful action, is a price our people have traditionally been willing to pay for self governance. Requiring people to stand up in public for their political acts fosters civic courage, without which democracy is doomed. For my part, I do not look forward to a society which\u2026campaigns anonymously\u2026and even exercises the direct democracy of initiative and referendum hidden from public scrutiny and protected from the accountability of criticism. This does not resemble the Home of the Brave.”<\/li>\n
