Judge Decides Proposition 8 To Be In Violation Of The U.S. Constitution
U.S District Judge Vaughn Walker has ruled in favor of opponents of California’s Proposition 8 ballot initiative which denied marriage rights to same sex couples in California. The keen minds at New York magazine’s Daily Intel blog have pulled from the 136-page decision the following: “Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California constitution the notion that opposite sex couples are superior to same sex couples.
Lawyers for the opposing side have filed a motion to stay this ruling pending an appeal to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The entire ruling can be found after the CNN video below:
