feeling good and blue

NY's lowest court has legalized same sex marriage, comparing the ban to previous bans on interracial marriage. They've given a month for an appeal to be filed, and you can bet that there will be one, but right now it feels good to live in a blue state :)

federalism yay!

decision is here

while we're on the topic of same sex marriage, our next matchup is the Catholic Church vs. Canada.

To quote Mr. Martin, a catholic, (from the NYT article) "You can't pick and choose the minority rights or the fundamental rights that you are going to defend."

equality?! whoa...
