Well, we all knew it would come to this... the Supreme Court will eventually have to weigh in on this issue.
As of Wednesday, May 27th, two legal eagles from the brand new Equal Rights Foundation are making a federal challenge of today's CA S Court ruling, targeted initially at the U.S. District Court with the hopes of making it up to the S Court.

The Foundation's founders are two famous attorneys who battled each other in the Gore vs. Bush case in 2000. Thus far, refreshingly, the Foundation is not billed as liberal or conservative but simply "equal rights."
Should be interesting to see how this one develops...since it's not coming from "homosexual activists..." or "activist judges". Yet another stereotype in the growing coalition for equality -- including judges in Iowa and legislators in Vermont - are shattered.

So do you think this is a bad move?
ReplyDeleteTime will tell. It could be too early depending on the inclinations of the federal courts and Supreme Court. The positive is that it's bipartisan and like Iowa and Vermont, coming from unexpected sources.
