- It would be priceless if the rush to take away a right in CA ultimately struck down laws in other states that weren't really being challenged. -- nm - Dano Aug 9, 11:52 8
  - I'm sure there have been challenges in other states though; so presumably Prop 8 in CA wouldn't be the only way to get to the Supreme Court. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:57 2
    - i think California is the only state so far that has ruled on the federal question -- nm - chuckles Aug 9, 12:02 1
      - oh. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 12:03
  - gays are always coming in the back door. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 11:54 1
    - I hope they're using protection. -- nm - Qale Aug 9, 11:58
  - that is the risk the pro-Prop 8 side is going to run if they continue on -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 11:54 2
    - Though technically right now (pending appeal) aren't all anti-same sex marriage laws deemed unconstitutional? Is that the current legal status? -- nm - Dano Aug 9, 12:00 1
      - only in the Ninth Circuit, if upheld on appeal -- nm - chuckles Aug 9, 12:05
