Recall how I said it is inevitable that gay marriage will become the law in the United States under Loving v. Virginia?

And, IIRC, you stated that a slippery slope argument was a logical fallacy. :-)

Not cool.

Well maybe I'll reconsider you for that appeals court vacancy now. :-)

BTW isn't it interesting that the court did not strike down the existing law, knowing that the consequences of such a ruling would have a devastating effect (and probably result in their lynching)? Instead they unconstitutionally ordered the legislature to pass a new law to fix the law that they didn't have the guts to overturn?

If I understand the system correctly, this decision of a court can be questioned....everything can be questioned. However, since this is the SCONJ the issue is HOW to challenge this?

I imagine a state initiative to change their constitution and to institute a gay marriage ban is the way to go.

Is there any way at all NOT to have to go that route? Is there any way to have the SCOJN decision overturned?
