The flood of notes contained words like "gutless," "ridiculous" and "outraged." We thought you might enjoy sharing in some of those comments:

"I immediately emailed my senator, John Warner," wrote KM of Virginia. "I sent him a two word messsage: 'start packing.' " She continued, "Yes, this was a great disappointment and loss. 'Defeat,' however, seems too strong a word. We know God is sovereign and the earth is the Lord’s. I am praying for His will to be done on earth as in heaven."

Gary Bauer, president of American Values, called the agreement "a sad day for America." Bauer said, "it is now more likely that radical social change will continue to be forced on the American people by liberal courts committed to same-sex marriage, abortion on demand and hostility to religious expression."

Please share with C&L your feelings as well.
