- Judge's Ruling Gives Boost to Same-Sex Marriage ; California Amendment Overturned
National recognition for same-sex marriage took a giant step forward Wednesday when, in a decision that some are comparing to Roe v. Wade, a federal judge overturned Proposition 8, California's voter-approved constitutional amendment on traditional marriage. In the first federal ruling on a state marriage amendment, one that has the potential to become a Supreme Court case that would strike down every state's marriage law and make gay marriage a national fact, Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker ruled that Proposition 8, by defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman, violated the due process and equal protection clauses of the Constitution.

- Eugene Robinson: Raising the Stakes On Gay Marriage
The 14th Amendment is a mighty sword, and U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker used it Wednesday to flay and shred all the specious arguments - and I mean all of them - that are used to deny full marriage rights to gay and lesbian Americans. Bigotry has suffered a grievous blow. Walker found that California's Proposition 8, which sought to ban gay marriage in the state, violated not one but two of the amendment's clauses - those guaranteeing due process, and equal protection under the law. By deciding the case on constitutional grounds, and by crafting such a detailed and comprehensive ruling, Walker all but guaranteed that the issue will eventually reach the Supreme Court.
