Prop 8 is overturned!
Aug. 4th, 2010 07:26 pmMEI, PERSON: PROP 8 WAS OVERTURNED! \o/
MEI, LAW STUDENT: It's not the complete victory people think it is (legally, there is still a LOT of issues). It still is a huge step forward and something people should be excited about, but with reserve.
( Lengthier thoughts under cut. )
Excerpts of the opinion: http://prop8trialtracker.com/2010/08/04/breaking-prop-8-ruled-unconstitutional/
The full opinion (126 pages): http://www.scribd.com/doc/35374462/Prop-8-Ruling-FINAL
Comments screened because I wouldn't mind hearing thoughts but I'm going on my fun 14-hour solo roadtrip back to NC tomorrow, leaving at 6AM or so, and I need to finish shoving shit into my car. I just don't have the time right now, apologies. These are just some initial thoughts, but overall - do be happy! We have to celebrate our victories, and this is a victory. :D
