Constitutional Meanderings

First up, America's godless constitution. Positive Libery has posted similar arguments, though without as much depth (at least, not since I've started reading them). So in the constitutional spirit of things, Positive Libery has an analysis of the Iraqi Constitution. Taken together, these articles are good food for thought on what makes a successful constitution. Only time will tell if the Iraqi Constitution will hold up.

And vaguely related to the Constitution, Kung Fu Monkey tells us about the real threat to marriage. And he's right: quickie divorces are a much greater threat to the institution of marriage than gay marriages, especially celebrated quickie divorces.

I disagree with many of the conclusions (surprise, surprise), but there are some good thoughts in there nonetheless.
