OPINION: California court's contradictory Prop. 8 decision

Los Angeles Times
May 27, 2009
The decision Tuesday that upheld a state constitutional ban on same-sex marriage was social and moral nonsense. "Legal precedents notwithstanding -- and the six clearly nervous justices who made up the majority in this case reached all the way back to the state Constitution of 1849 for those -- Tuesday's decision was intellectually and morally incoherent. It essentially tells Californians that a right as fundamental as the ability to choose the marital partner of your choice is a kind of judicial lottery ticket -- if you got in early, you win, but those who arrived a few days late lose. Sorry." [Link]
