Judge Overturns CA Ban on Gay Marriage
A San Francisco Superior Court Judge ruled moments ago that the State of California cannot limit marriage to a man and a woman. "It appears that no rational purpose exists for limiting marriage in this state to opposite-sex partners," said the judge's opinion.
It's only a Superior Court judge, but aren't these judges supposed to be the most conservative with their rulings? That is, aren't they supposed to default to case law even if they disagree with it? I thought the Supreme Court of California was the appropriate place to review the constitutionality of historical interpretation of case law or legislation passed by the legislature or initiative. Watch this case closely America; it will be very interesting to see how far the "robed ones" are allowed to take this.
