No, this decision only applies to this particular statute. And, a District Court decision IS NOT precedent for other courts, in fact it's not even precedent for this court - just these plaintiffs and these questions of law.
For this to have precedential value nationally, it will have to be affirmed by the Supreme Court.
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.
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.
