Comment on Supreme Court Strikes Down Defense of Marriage Actparent

Comments

I like the prop 8 ruling for the fact that it bars interest groups from fighting constitutionality rulings in the future. This basically eliminates the possibility of 'Citizen's-united-ization' of the court system. Otherwise interest groups could dump hoards of cash into fighting court cases that they would otherwise not be a party to. While I would have liked to see a stronger ruling on Prop 8, I'm even happier that the court provided an avenue for keeping money out of the last government institution that has a fighting chance.
