CLERKS!.....

No, the TTM is not referring to Kevin Smith's wonderfully quirky comedy.....although TTM does love the film.  Sadly, NO, this title refers to the ongoing, some might say OCDesque crusade by Brian 'brownshirt' Brown of NOM fame.  As those who follow the TTM know, Brown, Pres. of NOM, is fixated on what's currently happening in New Mexico. Some of the county clerks are issuing marriage licenses to "The GAY" and brownshirt is ever so pissed about it.  So pissed, he stamps his feet and declares that what they're doing is illegal, contrary to the law and against New Mexico's constitution. "They're interpreting the laws" says Brown, but they're doing no such thing. And, such is his wailing so loud that, NM Gov. Martinez has publicly come out and sided with Brown.......EXCEPT: the New Mexico constitution does not define marriage as between a man and a woman.  Further, there is no stipulation in the constitution or in any ordinances Local or State, prohibiting same sex marriage.  In other words, Tempest meet Teapot.  The shame of it is the Gov. Martinez has now staked out her ground on this contentious yet fast evolving civil rights fight.....and she's chosen the losing team.  The TTM almost....ALMOST....feels sorry for her.  As for Brown, well, the TTM has his number....
