California ain't dead yet
As soon as I can find it, I'll post it but last night on Hardball they had the two lawyers from the Gore v. Bush Supreme Court battle on the show. They are working together this time to defeat Prop 8 on the grounds that it runs in the face of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution (Equal protection under the law.)
As you can imagine, these guys are very good, and they handled every question as if it came with an obvious solution. if you can find it, its a very solid argument and I'd be very suprised if they don't ultimatly overturn Prop 8 and return *** Marriage to a legal status in California.
The split ruling helps their case as well, and I can't help but think that the court dangled it out there like a challenge to bring the case back up again.
