Read through this California supreme court decision: http://www.lambdalegal.org/our-work/in-court/decisions/california-supreme-court-benitez-decision.html

And evaluate the hypothesis: "There is a real threat to the ability of churches to legally perform marriage."

Im actually not disappointed in the CA supreme court because while I dont agree with the outcome they did what they were supposed to do as a court. Thankfully this is why we have the Supreme Court. I think that if we have marriage as a civil institution that gives rights then the equal protection under the constitution is quite valid and they should either get rid of the civil aspect of marriage (I wish, but not happening) or allow gays to marry. Or we could just change the constitution. Thankfully that is harder on the federal level ( ... )

Sorry for all the marriage debate on your LJ. If you would prefer we can totally move our debate to my LJ or something. :D

actually, it's terribly fun for me to read.

It's the most action my LJ has seen in some time.
