I was going to say that this won’t be appealed the Supreme Court, but someone’s already said it for me. Only things that involve federal law, or the federal Constitution, go to the Supreme Court. Anything based on state law or state constitutions stay in the state court systems (more or less).

If anyone wants to celebrate, we’ll be rallying with wedding cake (!) at 7 p.m. this evening, at the corner of Santa Monica Blvd. and San Vicente in West Hollywood.

Hope to see you there!!!

There’s no basis to appeal to the US Supreme Court, as the court’s decision was based on the state constitution and there’s nothing in federal law that would overrule it. Otherwise, Massachusetts’s gay marriages would have been tackled by SCOTUS already.
