Grim Amusements: dc says yea ... for now

"God's war". Hmm. One would think that we lived in a theocratic state, wouldn't one? Apparently, we turned into Iran when we weren't looking. [...] The really fascinating thing is going to be seeing what the Supreme Court does with this. As I understand it, decisions out of DC's court, since DC is more or less a federal city-state, can be appealed directly to the Supreme Court, though they may also go through the Court of Appeals that includes Virginia and Maryland -- the Third Circuit, I think. [...] In any event, as the opponents say, nothing is likely to really change for a while. The law will almost certainly be enjoined during all of the various challenges, one way and another. In 3-5 years, if all goes well and people are lucky, you may actually get universal marriage in DC.

Probably not, though.
