I'm finding this exceedingly interesting. Seeing as my knowledge of legal process is nigh non-existent, it sounds like that the Supreme Court of California didn't want to be forced to change their opinions by Prop 8. This may be due to their sense of power or may be due to their common sense.
Either way, it's still good news to know that marriage (let's call them, er, quigglies. I *like* that term.) is still acceptable for same-sex couples in that state. However, the issue with the label change is a dangerous one. I mean, we use labels all the time to discriminate between groups and I have no doubt that this will be used in that way. Or that some people will reject the label and still refer to their quigglies as a marriage and whatnot which will cause friction.
Hell, they should pass a motion to rename all marriages in California to quigglies. So much better. Just say it with me: quiggly, quiggly, quiggly. Hee!
