How can a constitutional provision be unconstitutional? Unless is was an amendment to the state constitution that somehow violated the federal constitution, or that contradicts some other section of the existing state document. And if any of those scenarios are true, then exactly what provision did this violate? Was this invalidated on 14th Amendment "equal protection" grounds? Did a new judge find a new "penumbra" for us to deal with? What makes this unconstitutional?????

I think its the 14th Amendment and Roe, Casey, and Lawrence. You know, equal protection of the laws and the relevant privacy and mystery of life penumbras. Typical liberal legal reasoning. As I said, if homosexual behavior is legal, then you can't ban gay and lesbian couples from getting married. Bastard decisions but then again Sen. Santorum observed this was exactly how it would turn out. No one should be shocked.
