Prop 8: Two Words

I have two words on Prop 8: Pyrrhic victory.

How so? Do you refer to the argument going to the CA Supes about abolishing marriage altogether?

No. That argument won't go anywhere. To quote Molly, "That dog won't hunt."

I'm referring to my post just before this, where I cite this post. Prop 8 will be found unconstitutional not because of what it does, but because of how they tried to do it. Pay attention to the post's second paragraph - that's an argument that was put forth in July and the court declined to hear it at that time. The comments are also a pretty good read, though there are a lot of nervous-type comments not relevant to a court decision.
