Cobb salad for all.
JUDGE: Having considered the trial evidence and the arguments of counsel, the court pursuant to FRCP 52(a) finds that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional and that its enforcement must be enjoined.
If this stands then all states must permit gay marriage, as a Constitutional right?
And why I avoid California and have now for 5 years, even though I have a way to get there at will.
Is anyone surprised? The ruling class cannot allow the little people input into the law.
Facinating how our Founders, courts, Congresses, Presidents missed this for well over 200 years, that Gay marriage is a Constitutional right.
Kagan will be so happy...
I suspect Missouri's vote to exempt itself from the federal "Manditory Health Insurance Mandate" will also be ignored by activist courts.....
The peoples voting voice is silenced.
This is just not the country I used to know. I really do hate the libs and their, "take it to court until we get what we want" tactic.
(Drudge keeps adding one line at a time.)
One of the important aspects to consider in the decision is the judge’s ruling that having previously granted gay marriage, California cannot then take away that right.
That decision, if upheld, will be far-reaching in so many other cases.
Yet another issue for the Democrats and RINOs to deal with this November.

The State should get out of the marriage business entirely. I’d rather have it eliminated than have it redefined like this. It’s meaningless now. You want to have kids with someone? Draw up a contract.
'Stereotypes and misinformation have resulted in social and legal disadvantages for gays and lesbians'...
JUDGE: THE RIGHT TO MARRY PROTECTS AN INDIVIDUAL’S CHOICE OF MARITAL PARTNER REGARDLESS OF GENDER...
DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIPS DO NOT SATISFY CALIFORNIA’S OBLIGATION TO ALLOW PLAINTIFFS TO MARRY...
So polygamy is a go as well?
Why not a Man and 6 year old while we are at it!?
Then the law that required only men register for the draft is a violation of equal protection.
The ruling ended with “Who wants fudge?”
