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.

Yes, I'm not implying this isn't an important decision, at all. I'm just saying it's not the end of the world, yet, and there's still a long way to go.

Having said that, plaintiffs could not have two more competent attorneys in Boies and Olson.
