My gay friend from high school who calls himself conservative is cheering up and down for this. Gonna shut up this time cause he really is conservative with everything else but the gay issues.

I truly think it would be beneficial for all liberals to take Obama and move to Ca. and they can have their own country to bankrupt.

Walker has been reported to be gay, but he has not addressed that issue

So Vermont and Mass. were state matters and couldn't be appealed to SCOTUS. DOMA is being challenged because the federal gov in intruding on the rights of the states to define marriage.

But in California, the state constitution is unconstitutional because it's actually a federal issue.

Under this courts interpretation, polygamy would have to be legal.

First, for a federal district court to rule that any state cannot define marriage as between a man and a woman, is huge.

District courts often look to other District opinions for guidance.

It’s a very dangerous decision and precedent in the broadest sense. I do hope it’s appealed all the way.

Just start calling it "Democrat marriage" ~ there's no need or reason to be nice to these pukes. They are busy destroying America so politeness and reason must be abandoned.

The rules of war are simple ~ you win, or you are destroyed. This is war.

And why I avoid California and have now for 5 years, even though I have a way to get there at will.

The citizens of California passed this law! It was the FEDERAL judiciary which has chosen to overturn it.

Your great state of Washington is in the 9th Circuit so any law in your state preventing homosexual marriage in your state is now void as well.

Are you moving to Nebraska?

Same thing as Iowa.
Judges making law and ignoring a popular vote.

Well, not really. Part of this decision hinges on the fact that California had previously granted the right of marriage to homosexuals and then removed that right with Prop 8. This judge ruled that it is unconstitutional to remove a right that has been previously granted.

AFAIK, polygamy hasn’t been granted as a right in California. (I’m just guessing on that one.)

Silver lining - this is as close as you can get to the model test case for the Supreme Court.

5-4 repudiate Vaughn Walker, and he suffers the perpetual shame of having tee'd up the perfect throw to Alito.

Yes, I'm not implying this isn't an important decision, at all. I'm just saying it's not the end of the world, yet, and there's still a long way to go.

Having said that, plaintiffs could not have two more competent attorneys in Boies and Olson.
