2. Oh rubbish
Maybe it will be upheld, maybe not.

But courts are much better than politicians at avoiding leaks.

This is just Glenn Beck trying to whip up his fanatic base.

5. I don't know. This is quite the it of information.
Especially considering that the release was delayed. Hard to imagine that it hasn't leaked out. Think about how many people know what the ruling is. Six judges, six assistants, at least one typist, a printer, etc...

Hard to keep a secret that matters.

6. uhm...
Didn't Barbara Walters and Whoopi call him out on The View this week about his fact searching and such? He more or less stated that he is a commentator, not a journalist (and does not do research). I'll wait to see what the courts state on Tuesday.

14. Oh, he will cry whatever happens
Tears of joy for people's rights being violated, or tears of anguish that people get to pursue happiness.

10. Glenn Beck makes things up
you might even say he's a lying sack of dog mess, though he doesn't like that.

15. But then, Beck's sources are nothing more than the voices in his head. . .
spurring him on to ever greater levels of batshit insanity. Beck wants Prop 8 overturned -- it'd give him months of unrestrained lunacy to rail upon.

So I'd take him with heaping teaspoons of salt. He doesn't know what's about to happen; he just knows what he wants to have happen.

18. Beck's Twitter Account Suggests Other 'Revelations' As Well
"we're all going to die. Soon."

"I like fish"

"I've been thinking about it more, so I wanted to clarify. I don't LOVE fish, I just like it."

19. I hope he's right, but it's far more likely
that he's just stirring the pot of shit he has boiling all the time. Outrage is his stock in trade, and it smells just like shit.
