Lawyers just love the hyperbole by assertion. Defying reason and logic means nothing to them, but
asserting something, repeating it and emphasizing it, does not make it so.
The California Supreme said as much and the USSC has consistently ruled the same way.
Looking at the bright side, letting the perverts spend a few more tens of millions$ on another failed attempt to hijack the word Marriage --- and nothing else --- is good for the economy.
I’m not so sure they’ll be unsuccessful. In the past few years, California has passed so much legislation giving “domestic partnerships” the same rights and benefits of marriage that little difference exists between the two (Federal recognition for tax purposes is the only one I can think of). We are now left with “separate but equal.”
