I love a good dry legal evisceration. My favorite bits so far (I'm on page 29) both regard the credentials and testimony of Tam:
"1man1woman.net encouraged voters to support Prop8 on grounds that homosexuals are twelve times more likely to molest children, and because Prop8 will cause states one-by-one to fall into Satan's hands."
"Tam identified 'the internet' as the source of information connecting same-sex marriage to polygamy and incest."
These are the sorts of documents on which long-term cultural and anthropological references (such as the OED and longitudinal discussions of ethics) are founded. This is the friggin' historical record, and this judge is lovingly recording just how batshit these people are.
