UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!

Judge Stephen Reinhardt in a 2-1 decision:

"We consider whether that amendment violates the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. We conclude that it does."

Rick Jacobs, Chair and Founder of the Courage Campaign, 

on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Decision:

"The 9th Circuit did what it must: it ruled that Judge Walker is competent, 

not somehow diminished for being gay and it ruled that the 

Constitution of the United States indeed provides equal protection and due process 

to all Americans, not just some Americans.

Having live-blogged every piece of this trial, 

especially in Judge Walker's courtroom two years ago, 

it became patently clear that the fringe opponents of equality would never prevail. 

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the dynamic duo of attorneys 

Ted Olson and David Boies 

and their colleagues at the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) 

who took to heart that real people are hurt by Prop 8 and its evil cousins across the nation. 

The time for waiting has ended."
