Fundamental

Besides the fact that it is 85 degrees and sunny in Portland today, news out of California has me all aflutter.

Despite all my conflicted feelings about having gone to law school, those three years getting my JD provided me a new lens through which to interpret news. Links to the decision abound, but here it is again (172 page PDF) for your pleasure.

Marriage is a fundamental right. Felons [edit: Prisoners] get it, and (gasp) gay people should get it too.

I read about half of the 172 pages and then grew tired. But the first half was very good.

This is a fabulous opinion, the reach is waaay beyond marriage--as I read it (ok, part of it) Any laws which take into account Sexual orientation are now subject to Strict Scrutiny -- meaning, essentialy, that in California, they're invalid. woo hoo!
