Oh, you, Democratic Party... switching positions when its popular, not on principle.
Now, don't get me wrong, its the right way to go, absolutely. It's just that the party didn't have the balls to stand up for it years ago in order, when it was the right thing to do.
Not that I would ever defend the lack of such language in the 2008 DNC platform, but for a national party to embrace something that was illegal throughout the entire country less than ten years ago suggests real progress from a long-term perspective.
