I was thinking more Teddy Roosevelt hahahah... but that's a fair assessment you provided. Reagan really took the party and turned it upside down...

No, Reagan did his thing and did it very well, but while he was busy with the half dozen things he could keep his attention on, the Religious Fright took over the party. He wasn't so much complicit as oblivious.

No, Reagan used the common outrage over Roe v Wade, to unify the Southern and Northen Conaervatives.

Just thought I'd give this thread a bump since the Supreme Court will be considering it during their September 24 conferance. A decision will be announced within the week after, so by October 1. The anticipation is really building!!!
 
Just thought I'd give a quick update and say that the Supreme Court did not announce it would be taking Perry v Brown, meaning that the announcement will come on Monday, and likely will be that they won't hear it.

That's now Hollingsworth v Perry -- it started as Perry v Schwarzenegger. Don't you love how a case can change names?

BTW, when you her things like that, please provide a link if you can.

I am vigilant this evening towards the prospective last sunset for Proposition 8, going down as prop 8 draws its final breaths. I look forward to a celebratory funeral for California's gay marriage ban at 9:30 (EST) tomorrow, followed by a flurry of obituaries in world newspapers.

I wish I could be as optimistic.

I see the possibility of this one not disappearing yet while either side see the potential for political points to be gained.

I'm sure that the Catholic Church has been leaning heavily on its altar boys on the bench to make a stand and I've no doubt that Scalia has been combing the Constitution to find the part where homos should be stoned to death.

I will keep my fingers crossed though.
 
I don't think they will make any decision until after the elections are over.
 
I've actually been listening to PBS radio at work and I honestly do not see them picking up the Prop8 case of the "gay marriage cases". Prop8 is a states' rights issue which the Supreme Court generally does not touch. It is more likely to pick up the Massachusetts DOMA case regarding federal benefits to marriage, specifically to states that allow gay marriage.
 
I think it was as I had originally suggested; you can't deal with Prop8 before DOMA or even in isolation of DOMA.

If homo marriage was allowed tomorrow in California, it indicates for all intents and purposes that DOMA is dead.

SCOTUS isn't going to bury DOMA based on the result from simply not hearing Prop 8 and they're not going to let a whole bunch of homos get married in the event that DOMA and what amounts to a general proscription against homo marriage is upheld.

As much as people want or think them to be separate...the issue they cover is not and the SC is going to walk very delicately around this.
 
^ I will not claim wise, because I don't think so....but I suspect it captures the strategic dilemma that SCOTUS finds itself in.

Maine did just that in 2009, and while Washington and Maryland have not done it yet they could do it on election day.

Maine passed the law and then lost it to a referendum?

And Washington doesn't, as far as I'm aware, have a law on the books establishing same-sex marriage, nor an upcoming referendum to take that back.

Where have you been lol? Maine was Question 1 in 2009 and Washington is Referendum 74 now.
 
Kulindahr said:
Neither of those count -- they never had same-sex marriage. Washington never passed such a law, and while Maine passed it it never went into effect.

Washington just passed a law which is now up for referendum.
 
The SC will have to consider the issue of marriage equality sooner or later due to the federal implications of state marriage laws. I have a feeling they'll consolidate all the cases regarding marriage equality just to get a single, cohesive ruling, and I suspect they'll do it this term, though they won't calendar it until after the elections to avoid getting the court mired in politics.
