Ed Meese: Prop. 8 ruling ignores precedent, evidence and common sense

Edwin Meese III writing in The Washington Post: “By refusing to acknowledge binding Supreme Court precedent, substantial evidence produced at trial that was contrary to the holding and plain common sense, the ruling exhibits none of the requirements of a traditional decision. This opinion is arbitrary and capricious, and its alarming legal methodology and overtly policy-driven tenor are too extreme to stand.”
