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?

Yup. The Mormon Church has opened a Pandora's box that can and probably will strip them of tax-exempt status...which will effectively end their ability to do a lot of their world-wide religious business. Too bad for them...karma might be a good revelation for them to consider.

John -

I'm going to forward your previous post/Daily Kos references to a (gay, married-to-a-guy) acquaintance in San Diego who is also a law professor.

Tuesday night he told both Roy/inbhirnis and me that no legal challenge of the type you and Daily Kos cite, is viable.

I hope he's wrong (and so would he, of course). But I wanted to give you that backstory.

Joe
