The opinion.

[McBain II]

According to Brian Williams it was a very broad decision based on the equal protection clause. Bodes well for the Prop 8 case.

The equal protection clause does not apply to same-sex marriage.

I wonder if the people over at the Daily Kos will soil their panties over the 'crazy radical Supreme Court'.

The court ruled that it denies equal liberty that is protected by the 5th amendment.

The 14th Amendment is the most important amendment since the ratification of the United States Constititution.

Interesting statement in the ruling..
By history and tradition the definition and regulation of marriage has been treated as being within the authority and realm of the separate States.
