9th Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 that Prop 8 is unconstitutional.

On to the Supreme Court.

I love this line from the decision:

Decision said:
Proposition 8 served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California

It will probably go en banc first, where it's reviewed by the entire 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. If it's still ruled unconstitutional at that level, or the 9th denies the petition, then it goes to the Supremes.

About time. Maybe this'll be over soon, then it'll be on to whatever group they decide to hate next.
