Yes, but only within the framework of the current decision and the current consistitution. That's why we're moving to a constitutional amendment. An amendment enacting civil unions would trump the court's decision.

We're going to have same-sex couples marrying for two and a half years before any amendment could come into effect, is the problem.

Civil unions passed, 105-92. Legislature votes next year and then it's on the ballot. We're done for 2004.

This will be the interesting part. What do you think the practical consequences of this will be?
