Tuesday, August 02, 2005 Left Hand Meet Right Hand Last June the California Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge to the Domestic Partners law the legislature passed. It was challenged on the grounds that it violated the marriage law passed by initiative by effectively making domestic partners the legal equivilent of married people. The lower courts said, no, it did no such thing, and the state supreme court let that stand.
But yesterday the State Supreme Court said that same sex partners are exactly equivilent to married people.
The State legislature passed the law hoping that the courts would do exactly this. By a stealth method of justifying the law as not a same sex marriage bill, while effectively making it legally equivilent they knew they could get around the inititative the people passed defining marriage as it did. What critics of the bill said would happen, is what happened. Gov. Gray Davis signed the bill into law. posted by Mark Butterworth | 1:41 PM | |
