This is what I see in Mass. The Mass SC saw that a ruling which simply allowed homosexual marriage would immediatly been overruled by the legislature and they would have been reviled. This solution puts all the pressure on the legislature. The Mass SC did not say yea or nay, just the legislature has to make a decision.
The deadline however seems a suckers bet. Can the mass legislature move the process up faster?
The Mass SC did not say yea or nay, just the legislature has to make a decision. Wish that was so but the ruling ordered the legislature to change the current statue to strike out 'between man and a woman' saying the only constitutional phrase is between 2 people.
Need a constitutional amedndment and that won't get to the voter for 3 years.
Can't wait to see the Boston Globe marriages page in 6 months.
