PROP 8 Overturned! Unconstitutional!

"Plaintiffs have demonstrated by overwhelming evidence that Proposition 8 violates their due process and equal protection rights and that they will continue to suffer these constitutional violations until state officials cease enforcement of Proposition 8. California is able to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, as it has already issued 18,000 marriage licenses to same-sex couples and has not suffered any demonstrated harm as a result, see FF 64-66; moreover, California officials have chosen not to defend Proposition 8 in these proceedings."

It is a long ways from the day in 1976 when the Sheriff stopped my boy friend and I threatening to arrest us if we didn't stop hold hands -- Free at last, thank God Almighty we are free at last!

From what I can tell, you can marry tonight. Read the ruling, Judge Walker has not issued a stay while waiting on appeal. You're the lawyer Phil, am I reading that correctly?

Sweet! But, could you marry someone else tonight? Before the ruling I asked a guy I work with to marry me, he said 'sure'. But, when that doesn't work out, you and I can totally get married. I never realized how easy all this is!

As of this moment there is not stay so yes, rush to the clerk and get a license and marry now!

BTW, I predict a SCOTUS decision affirming this ruling. You heard it here first.
