NRO readers might be interested in a recent decision of the San Francisco Superior Court in the consolidated cases challenging California’s marriage law on state constitutional grounds. I have only skimmed the case (which is available here). Judge Richard Kramer concluded that he was unable to find any legitimate state interest in the
current definition of marriage. Even though the law treats men and women the
same, he believed that it was still a form of sex discrimination. The law
being challenged (Proposition 22) was enacted by popular vote in March 2000
(with a nearly 60-40 margin).
