1. fantastic! I was hoping they would be able to override it. Now CT, MA, VT & IA
are currently giving people there full rights under the constitution.

12. Alright! Cue the locusts!

Maybe Massachusetts and Connecticut can
send up some extras from their plagues...

(P.S.: equal marriage is still alive in the NH legg
as well; we may need those plaguey locusts when
VT is finished with them!)

Lots of progress made in the course of just a single week.
