Amidst the rejoicing and sense of total victory over the two SCOTUS decisions today that eliminated discrimination against same-sex married couples in all federal regulations and reinstated marriage equality in California, Nancy Pelosi got off the best line of the day.
Just two words.
Michele Bachmann spent the day denouncing the decisions. "Marriage was created by the hand of God. No man, not even a Supreme
Court, can undo what a holy God has instituted. . . . [It is] an affront to the Constitution, and to the foundational unit of society, which is marriage."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was asked what she thought of Bachmann's denunciations, and she spoke the two-word sentence that was just perfect.
With a shrug, Pelosi replied: "Who cares?"
Why is that so important? Because it says that the victory is final. We don't have to argue about it any more. I don't even need to be outraged by Antonin Scalia's tantrum of a dissent. It's irrelevant. We have won, Michele; we have defeated you, old man Scalia. Get over it.
