On that California Gay Marriage Decision...

"I don't think we should legalize gay marriage. Haven't those poor people suffered enough?"

Oh, and another one-liner....

A baby seal walks into a club....

More seriously, the California court (composed, by the way, of six Republican appointees and a single Democratic appointee) decided that issues of sexual orientation would be decided using strict scrutiny, the most stringent legal standard, effectively prohibiting discrimination, under the equal protection clause, of GLBT people in California, a state with a population larger than that of Canada. Yay! (As an aside, could that sentence have had any more clauses?)

"no state shall… deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
