Given that this will almost certainly wind up in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, wouldn't this make same sex marriage legal in Oregon (and WA, and AK, and ID and so on) if the plaintiffs were successful again? (Assuming the unlikely situation that there was no stay on the verdict before it went to the Supreme Court.)
I'm really not a lawyer though, so maybe someone else can explain....
We were married (later ruled invalid) in California in the 2004 event, and domestically-partnered (we still say "husband", dammit) in Oregon later on, not to mention all the (very expensive) private legal contracts and will, so we will keep soldiering on (insert Don't Ask, Don't Tell joke here) as long as it takes.
I used to say that since there were widespread attempts to take away the rights of gay people, it wouldn't be long before haters of equality went after other groups.
Now, the teabagger (insert another joke here) crowd is trying to repeal the 14th amendment. Goodbye birthright citizenship! Goodbye the rights of the descendants of slaves. Who needs the 14th amendment, anyway?
