US Clergy face criminal charges for conducting same-sex weddings

[mrph]

From the BBC: two New York ministers to be prosecuted for conducting same-sex weddings.

Words fail me. Whatever the letter of the law (which I don't happen to agree with), is it really in the public interest to spend time and money prosecuting members of the clergy for this?

Could be worse. They could be whisked off to Camp Delta and not have their day in court! If that happened they wouldn't be able to show what complete arses the prosecutors are.

Its probably just another front for the War on Terror *Wave Flag*

Well, some parts of the world certainly seem Terrified by the prospect. I suppose that'd be enough evidence for Bush to justify their inclusion...
