Today's ruling is far more serious than I originally thought. There's no easy way to stop it from becoming the law of the entire nation, and maybe no feasible hard way, either.

I guess we need another state's Supreme Court to rule completely opposite (I suppose a Circuit Court could do likewise, assuming proper jurisdiction is established), and then hope for a favorable US Supreme Court ruling.

Given their recent ruling in the Texas sodomy case, I don't like the odds, but they may be the only ones we have.

Two years of legal gay marriage in Massachussetts probably can't be undone from a political perspective.

I've been trying to spread the word on the process going on in Mass for a couple of years now. I saw it coming after Birmingham refused to allow a vote. Nobody listened but I did get accused of crying wolf quite a bit.

I think the only solution is a Constitutional Amendment and the process should start soon.

O'Connor is totally unreliable, Kennedy is stuck with his Lawrence ramblings and they have 4 sure votes to cite the full faith and credit clause. They will get either Kennedy, most likely, or O'Connor.

SCOTUS is no hope.
