[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is heading to the Supreme Court. Care to guess how it will come out there?![/quote] I think it really depends upon how much of the case is a matter of interpreting state law, and how much is federal. I think they steered clear of equal protection claims under 14th and so a conservative court will have a hard time sticking its nose in this one.[/quote] I think they pretty much decided this entirely on the 14th amendment: "The three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that a lower court judge correctly interpreted the U.S. Constitution and Supreme Court precedents when he declared in 2010 that Proposition 8 – a response to an earlier state court decision that legalized gay marriage – was [b]a violation of the civil rights of gays and lesbians[/b]." [/quote]I do not think your inference is correct. [/quote]
