considering that 10 states shot it down ( including liberal oregon)
I would have to surmize that this ruling is just a wake up call to a shoddy prosecutor to get a better argument to present... I bet it is only a matter of time before there is a federal law prohibiting gay marriage...
in fact one could argue that this issue is the one that decided the presidential election this year...
here is my reasoning on that statement.
the issue brought out the right wing in droves to vote to outlaw gay marriges, as is obvious by the result!
many in the right wing were not willing to vote for Kerry, but probably would have just stayed home if not for the gay marriage issue... so in retrospect, I believe that this may have been the cause of more republican turn out hence giving GW a better position than he would have had...
