Here is another snippet from an article by David Link who has been blogging about the Proposition 8 Trial.
"Deja Vu."
One commenter on my previous post shares Dale Carpenter's cautious pessimism about our chances of winning the Prop. 8 case in the Supreme Court. The commenter is resigned to us having to live through our own Plessy v. Ferguson.
Actually, we've already done that. Losing this case wouldn't be our Plessy, it would be our second Bowers v. Hardwick.
[...]
The [Bowers] case had everything going for it.
And we lost.
The Bowers opinion, in Justice Kennedy's words [in Lawrence] overturning it seventeen years later, "was not correct when it was decided, and it is not correct today."
I left a comment at his blog.
