Eight years of Obama and we may just have a supreme court that may see this differently.
“United States District Court Judge David Carter threw out the challenge to Proposition 8 and dismissed the state of California as a defendant in the case of Smelt vs. United States.”
(But...portions of the case challenging the federal Defense of Marriage Act will be heard next month.)
“This is another great day for marriage in California,” said Andrew Pugno, Chief Legal Counsel for ProtectMarriage.com, the official campaign committee for Proposition 8.
“The twice-expressed will of the people of California for traditional marriage is under assault from many lawsuits, but our recent string of victories in both state and federal courts is very gratifying.”

Grinds my guts. This shouldn’t be any of the damned Feds business in the first place.
The voting rights of blacks and hispanics have upheld.
I love how the media and Hollywood likes to blame the Mormons for Prop 8. Minorites made Prop 8 possible. Why aren’t liberals going after minorities?
Isn’t this the same judge handling the Keyes v. B.O. birth certificate case?
Obama either names a 1) Gay Czar, or 2) a Marriage Czar, to settle the matter without any other federal oversight.

Personally, I can't make an argument that would over-ride the 4th Amendment assurance of equal protection.
I hope somebody else can.
The story title is misleading - Prop 8 didn’t “withstand” anything. The plaintiffs just didn’t have standing. There are more bullets in the lefts magazine.
