Happy Marriage Equality America!
Basically, it will go back to things the way they stood before Perry.
Which means Prop. 8 is unconstitutional? (Sorry to be such a moron.)
MSNBC says marriage is now legal in CA again.
That's fantastic. I declare this to be a day of high drama.
I am totally earwormed with the Bad Romance tune but the lyrics "DO-MA, DO-MA-MA". OY!
Which means Prop. 8 is unconstitutional?
The lower court's decision striking it down stands. Not the same as the Supremes saying it is unconstitutional. So, outcome limited to CA.
