Reply #6: I want our issues front and center. [View All]

[Q3JR4]

I'd like the publicity. Whatever the court does, our issues would be front and center. To me that would be a win.

In any case that goes before the court the "liberals" on the court could side with us, or not. The "conservatives" on the court could side against us, or not (Anthony Kennedy voted with the majority in Lawrence V. Texas, the case that overturned sodomy laws, so who knows where he'll stand). In the worse case the court sidesteps the marriage issue ruling on the constitutionality of DOMA or some other legal technicality, and nothing changes. In the best case they rule in our favor, or they overturn prop. 8.

If you don't take a chance, nothing will change. Period.

Q3JR4.
Push as far as you can and hope nothing breaks. If it does, pick up the pieces but as soon as possible start pushing again.
