This tremendous news comes after months of advocacy by national immigration
law and policy groups, LGBT organizations and advocates including The DOMA
Project. While The DOMA Project has focused primarily on stopping
deportations, we have also engaged in wide-ranging advocacy and provided
legal representation in related cases where couples are fighting separation
or exile.

vote of 26-15.
The Senate passed the bill last week by a vote of 13-6.
Said Governor Markell last week after the bill passed the Senate: "It's
time for this bill to pass. It's time for the bill to be signed. It's the

标 题: 无籽西瓜是西瓜么？
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Mon Feb 8 15:45:23 2010, 美东)
讲个故事哈：
从前有些人喜欢种西瓜和吃西瓜。吃的时候呢，有人觉得吐籽真麻烦啊，
所以干脆就不吃了。这时不喜欢吐籽的人培育了一种无籽的跟西瓜长相味
道都一样的东东，您一定知道了，这就是无籽西瓜嘛。自然的，他们也把
这新品种叫西瓜啦。这时候，有些瓜农不干了，说：这个东西不能叫西瓜
啊，西瓜那得是能产籽的，西瓜大面积种植了不就是和它一个能产好多籽
相关联么？所以你现在这个东东得起个新名称，就叫圆球儿吧。
话说回来了，civil union真和marriage具有同样法律权益的时候，人们
该怎么解释civil union这个名词呢？
甲：最近我看到个词汇叫civil union，这是啥意思啊？
乙：你知道marriage是啥意思不？
甲：这我当然知道啦。
乙：那civil union就是same-sex marriage呗。
甲：哦，原来是酱紫啊。 |

“The Court of Appeals ruled 7-0 that couples who have a valid marriage from
another state can divorce in Maryland.”
而且我也说了嘛，允许离婚的前提是 承认婚姻合法。 当然这个前提是更多人希望得到的。
在外州结婚的MD认可。也就是说MD会把这样的人作为married看待。但MD自己还不能issue same-

发帖数: 2113 | 9 作為臭名昭著的紐約人我得承認確實不瞭解其他州到底在幹什麼。
去年高院推翻DOMA第三條之後，排山倒海的架勢其實是可以預料的。
高院的判決對聯邦巡迴法院的案子有管轄效力【中文是這麼說的嘛？】，
這之後凡是在聯邦巡迴法院關於同性婚姻的案件，
都得援引高院的Windsor判決。
所以一個一個州的攻克是可以預見的，
只要某個州的same sex marriage ban在聯邦巡迴法院受到挑戰，
結局基本就是輸，然後吶，像Utah 一樣再通過行政程序block，
再繼續對壘，堅持不了多久，也遲早會被推翻了。
某種意義上來說，確實是保守派受不了的一種趨勢，
五個大法官戰勝其餘四個，
然後全國的聯邦巡迴法院都效法，
也就相當於幾個法官成了法律的主宰。
不過有啥辦法呢，遊戲的規則就是這樣定的，
想當初異族間的通婚也是因為Loving v. VA 的判決，
在全國個個州逐漸推倒藩籬的。
網絡時代自由派盛行天下的時代，
進程只會更快。
今年看好TEXAS！

记得United States v. Windsor 10年开始起诉，13年高院判决下达，历时不过3年。按
照这个进度，以Utha为代表的这些起诉same-sex marriage bans的cases，2年以内高院
一定得判啊。我以为高院早晚得受理，目前纠结的只是时间问题。
但听你的意思是说，高院因为DOMA第2条而不愿意涉足，如果压根不受理，那么我们红
州的这些官司岂不是白打了？而且联邦法庭的判决迟迟不能执行，司法的公信力何在？
如果司法不能解决问题，依靠公投和议会表决去推动，咱西部大农村更不知道要等到猴

发帖数: 24887 | 11 Key points:
1.In declaring Pennsylvania's ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, the
judge did not issue a stay of his own ruling.
2.The state's Democratic attorney general, Kathleen Kane, announced last
July that she would not defend it, saying she could not ethically defend a
law she considered "wholly unconstitutional." Defense of the law was carried
on by the administration of the state's Republican governor, Tom Corbett. |
