The Chicago Tribune agrees with my prediction on Prop. 8. Though, theirs is more of an endorsement of the idea. Mine is more of a prediction. As a libertarian, I’d like government to get out of the business of saying who is “married.”

The One Best Way 
Now that I’ve looked at Brown vs Bd of Ed and noticed that Frankfurter and the predominantly Democrat appointees of the Warren court knew they needed a unanimous decision, I wonder if there is any reluctance on the court to do much if they only get a 5-4 decision or if they’d be able to get more consensus on a more sweeping decision one way or the other. Maybe since Brown set the precedent, and Roe followed with an 8-2, a 5-4 to overthrow traditional marriage would be alright.

As long as “marriage” has legal benefits, government must have a say in it.

But, what is that say?
