quote: Btw I never said it was a victory. You do know the difference between someone posting a news article and someone posting their own opinion... or I would hope you do by now. Never once did I claim it was a victory. The only victory I see in this that it goes before the Supreme Court. But I am sure that has missed your notice. I understand it is your opinion just as well as my posts are my opinions also, except for the unemployment figures, they have been revised for several months after they were released. Revised up. quote: By msnbc.com staff and news wires The U.S. economy generated fewer jobs than expected in April, but the unemployment rate dipped slightly and data from prior months was revised upward, painting a murky picture of labor market conditions. http://economywatch.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/04/11536808-job-creation-slows-again-in-april-jobless-rate-dips?lite It was announced today that the Supreme Court will be asked to hear a case brought before it to set aside the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rulng. I don't have the same feeling about this as I do with Obama Care. For one, although I am a conservative I don't feel it my business to keep the marrage ceremony and all the obligations and rewards of marriage from Gays. Who am I to control their lives when it does not hurt me or mine? This is were I draw the line on such social issues, "does it adversely affect me or take someone elses rights away?" So I hope the Supremes decide either to not hear the case or side with Gays.

They decide using the law and logic and wisdom. But that is another thread. But hey, this looks to be a very bad month for Obama starting with today's unemployment figures. Oh, and the revised ones that were spun last month, by -25%. Big revision. Unemployment figures? April 8.1, May 8.2? Thats a big revision? U6 figures went from 14.5 in April to 14.8 in May. Is that what you are hooking your hopes on? Thats a far cry from the high of 17.2... ;) To clarify and support my point: quote: By msnbc.com staff and news wires The U.S. economy generated fewer jobs than expected in April, but the unemployment rate dipped slightly and data from prior months was revised upward, painting a murky picture of labor market conditions. http://economywatch.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/04/11536808-job-creation-slows-again-in-april-jobless-rate-dips?lite By the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics for the June 1, 2012 report: A change of over 25% from the original statistics in a single month. This has been a pattern. quote: The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for March was revised from +154,000 to +143,000, and the change for April was revised from +115,000 to +77,000. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf

What's BLS & unemployment to do with DOMA? Man, we should've had legal civil marriage between 2 consenting adults a loooong time ago.

No. You are still looking at Hispanics total, and calling them all immigrants. How many immigrants are in the United States today? Did it change compared to the previous years? According to the Census Bureau's 2009 American Community Survey, the US immigrant population was 38,517,234, or 12.5 percent of the total US population. The number of foreign born living in the United States increased by 1.5 percent (about 556,000 people) between 2008 and 2009. http://www.migrationinformation.org/feature/display.cfm?ID=818
