Doing the right thing is moral. Morality won today.

From SCOTUS Blog:

Quote:
Amy Howe: From the opinion: We have never before upheld the standing of a private party to defend the constitutionality of a state statute when state officials have chosen not to. We decline to do so for the first time here.

Morality is not defined by those who benefit from a certain agenda.

The government does not use tax-money to support abortion for the very same reason, but I suspect that will soon change too.

Once Prop 8 makes it to the SCOTUS on the merits, today's decision will likely result in it's being overturned. Till then it stands.

This is a moral win, not a crisis.
