DOMA, Prop 8 annihilated by Supreme Court.
"You need to figure out if you are living in a comedy or a tragedy. A tragedy means you die at the end. In a comedy, you get married." --Dr. Jules Hilbert, Stranger Than Fiction |

Here at Superconductor, it is a happy day.
This post is to spread the good word: the Supreme Court has struck down the repellend Defense of Marriage Act in a 5-4 decision. The majority opinion was delivered by Justice Anthony Kennedy with dissent from Justices Roberts, Scalia and Alito.
Forty-five minutes later, the SCOTUS ruled against Proposition 8, stating that the California statute had "no standing."
Like I said, it's been a good day.
