The headline of the Los Angeles Times article is about Proposition 8, but the article is actually about new Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court, Tani Cantil-Sakauye, and a bunch of things she told reporters. She said the court might have something to say as early as next week on the issue of whether or not the backers of the California Marriage Amendment (still) have standing in the court battle... or perhaps whether or not they'll rule on that issue in the first place.
My analysis of the article is over at my namesake blog (which, I modestly point out, was recently referenced by Dr. Laura on her radio program and linked to from her website and Facebook page).
The new chief justice has declined to reveal her views about [neutering] marriage. As an appeals court judge in Sacramento, she performed a wedding for a same-sex couple "as a favor to someone else who had a family emergency," she said. Same-sex marriage was legal for six months in 2008. "I didn't have any qualms about it," she said.
Yeah, you know, I'm not going to reveal my views about fornication and adultery, but I'll tell a bunch of reporters in the tank for fornication and adultery that if a buddy of mine gets temporarily incapacitated and requests I "take care" of his wife, I'll do that as a favor for him without any qualms. After all, both of those things are legal.
