Prop 8

The best argument for overturning Prop 8 is what I can the "who gives a shit" argument. Gay marriage matters to what? 2% of the population? How can that reasonably be said to mess with the institution of marriage?

That's the winning argument - not this issue of rights, blah, blah, blah and trying to masquerade under the banner of a new Civil Rights struggle that ever self-hating liberal wishes they were apart of (in theory).

Good point here.

When polled, young adults are invariably heavily in favor, guaranteeing that the legal posture on this issue will shift further over the next decade. The real effect of this decision, assuming it’s upheld on appeal, will be to let gay-marriage opponents claim that they were cheated in a debate that they were losing and bound to lose anyway.
