Deep 6 For Prop 8
A Federal Judge has overturned the odious Proposition 8, making same sex marriage unconstitutional. The decision was based on both due Process and Equal Protection considerations.

But you posted while I was posting to the other post and you posted before I posted but after westgate posted but after I posted to each of your posts, the posts moved to the top of the other posts.

Back to the OP. Even though this ruling is correct IMHO and foreshadows where things will ultimately end up in this country, this is but a small skirmish and maybe only a temporary victory in the culture wars. The GOP will do what it can to retain it as a wedge issue.

The wedge is getting nibbled away bit by bit. When a Republican governor refuses to even enforce the statute, some of the sting is gone.
