Prop 8 Re-Redux

ADVERTISEMENTS
By now we all know that the California Supreme Court has ruled that Proposition 8 is constitutional, but that existing same-sex marriages shall stand. It was probably the correct legal decision, though not the correct moral one.

I'm posting to share this link: Today, Ted Olson and David Boies filed a federal equal protection claim challenging the validity of Proposition 8. While sexual orientation is not a federally recognized suspect class, it is recognized in California, and that appears to be the thrust of today's federal claim.

Whether this marks the beginning of a sea change in equal protection jurisprudence obviously remains to be seen. But if so, you heard it here first.
