”Someday at some point my dissent will be the majority view in California. I think that’s where the law is headed. Equal protection is either equal or it’s not. It’s not the kind of thing you can chip away at.”
Carlos Moreno, a Supreme Court Justice for the state of California, expressing his continued belief in marriage equality for same-sex couples. He first voted to allowing same-sex marriage, and then later on voted against the legality of Proposition 8. Moreno was the only California Judge to rule that the voter-approved law, which effectively rolled-back marriage equality for gays and lesbians, was a violation of ”specific protections against discrimination” covering minorities ruled as a suspect class. He also said he believed that Prop 8 may end up being a case that opens the door to more voter-approved discrimnation against other types of minorities. (Law.com)
