I found this article online about the impending ruling on Prop. 8—yes, I know…again. I thought this should shed some light of the real trajectory this case has been going, specifically of those of the opposite side.
Forget the law. Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker has allowed the trial over a challenge to overturn Proposition 8 - the 2008 California ballot initiative that limited marriage to "a man and a woman" and was approved by 52 percent of California voters - to turn into what the measure's opponents like to call a "teachable moment." That's another way of saying that the law isn't as important as feelings in this trial.[1] |
Clearly a stymie approach to politics. I wonder how the debate would go if the tables were turned. I assume they would be saying, "You lost. Get over it." Likewise! You lost. Get over it!
