CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT LEGALIZES SAME-SEX MARRIAGE! 


Well, it looks like California at least, is a bit closer to civilized Europe than the rest of America. And oh boy, the conservative talk radio hosts must be frothing at their mouths.  FROTHING I say!

Is it being cynical or realistic for me to wait for this ruling to get challenged and sent to the national Supreme Court? I'd like for this to stand unchallenged, really I would, but there are just too many mean and close-minded people out there....

From what I understand, there really isn't much of a chance of the ruling being appealed to the Supreme Court, because the justices were very careful to define their ruling only in terms of what the state constitution says. So there's not much of a basis for appeal.

What the religious activists will do is try to put an ballot issue to amend the state constitution. Which may backfire on them, given that this is an election year.
