Just downloaded the decision. Apparently the judge was pretty merciless. Can't wait to read it.

"Moral disapproval alone is an improper basis on which to deny rights to gay men and lesbians. The evidence shows conclusively that Proposition 8 enacts, without reason, a private moral view that same-sex couples are inferior to opposite sex couples."

This was a quote I saw from the judge.

One of the "expert" witnesses was deemed unqualified as an expert witness "and, in any event, failed to provide cogent testimony in support of proponents' factual assertions."
