Gay Marriage
The Catholic Church, which had its own way in Ireland for centuries, has seen an incredibly rapid collapse of its power and influence. Of course, it had it coming! Good on the Irish!
Now on to the next human rights issue in the republic, abortion.
The battle to nullify Proposition 8 just got cranked-up a notch. The group that sponsored Proposition 8 (called 'Yes on Proposition 8') has asked the California Supreme Court to nullify all gay marriages already in California's records.
Their request comes in the form of a legal brief, co-written by none other than Ken Starr. Considering that judges don't appreciate a team of lawyers commanding them what to do, they will likely strike-down this request.
