QUOTE By a vote of 6-1 (with Justice Carlos Moreno dissenting), the California Supreme Court has upheld Proposition 8 -- while preserving the marriage licenses of 18,000 same-sex couples who wed in the months prior to the November election. Paul Hogarth is reading the 185-page Court decision as we speak, and will be reporting later today with his legal analysis of the Court's reasoning. http://www.beyondchron.org/articles/BREAKI...rop_8_6962.html discuss. |

I see what you're saying, but the answer is no, not if it (unjustly) puts the rights of one group above those of another group, and especially not if precedent has been set (e.g. Brown vs. Board of Ed; Loving v. Virginia).
