California 2nd State to Allow Same-Sex Marriage

As Justice Corrigan stated in his concurring and dissenting summary of the decision, new ideas are not popular at the onset, but over time they are incorporated into the social fabric and before long it is hard to
 imagine life before they came into effect. Justice Kennard concurred that the definition of marriage is a decision that can only be rendered by the courts and not by voters at the ballot box.

Yet is this truly the end of the debate in California?

Very good coverage, soar subject, but great job.
Being that I reside in Calfornia, this is the most talked about subject out here. The debate is that people from out of state are going to cmoe here just to go thru with the marraige, which means more clutter for california and higher prices.
Reliable 1 -- this is the crux of the discussion right now in CA. Has the separation of powers been observed and have the courts interpreted the law, or have they elevated themselves into the shoes of the law makers (i.e. the voters) and overridden their own limitations?
Great coverage!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good coverage!
