SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:54 P.M. ET: 

WALKER CALLS FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT – From The Politico: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, seizing the moment after the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling legalizing same-sex marriage, called Friday for a Constitutional amendment that would allow the states to decide whether gay marriage should be legal.  Walker’s call came shortly after the high court ruled 5-4 that same-sex couples could marry across the country, overturning a number of state same-sex marriage bans.  The ruling was “a grave mistake,” the Republican governor said, touting his support for amending his state’s constitution “to protect the institution of marriage from exactly this type of judicial activism.”  There isn't much current support for an Amendment.  The Dems, who have been captured by every special interest on Earth, would never go along.  I like Lindsey Graham's approach, which is to pass legislation strengthening religious freedom.

AMERICANS FEARFUL OF ECONOMY – From the Washington Examiner:   The ever-expanding Republican presidential field, which threatens to splinter over social issues as dark horses grab hot-button topics for attention, is being urged to stick to the economy where the real pot of voter gold sits.  "Concern over the economy is the highest I've ever seen," top GOP pollster Ed Goeas told the moderate Republican Ripon Society. He said 72 percent are worried about an economic downturn.  "Republicans need to get into the game on better turf and that means talking in specifics about how we will bring the economy back and help create the jobs that go with real recovery," added pollster David Winston.  I think that's good advice.  Most Republicans have admirable views on social issues, but the media distorts them to make the GOP look like a party of bigots, which it is not.  The economy and Obama's failed foreign policy should be the centerpieces of next year's campaign.

THIS IS NOT THE SOVIET UNION, AT LEAST NOT YET – From Daily Caller:  Americans trust their doctors, so the White House wants these medical professionals to be a mouthpiece for President Obama’s global warming agenda.  “We also need doctors, nurses and citizens, like all of you” President Obama said in a taped speech presented to medical professionals gathered at the White House, “to get to work to raise awareness and organize folks for real change.”  I wasn't aware that doctors and nurses are messengers of the government.  I hope the medical profession ignores Obama's invitation to be part of the socialist revolution.  I hope doctors and nurses practice the best medicine they can.
