UTAH SSM Ruling

Well, it has begun -- a district court judge struck down an anti-SSM state amendment on federal constitutional grounds. Violates the right to marry (strict scrutiny) and does not rational basis as to EP (Windsor relied on for opening, but its standard is avoided as too new and vague). Pretty good opinion though I would have added some teeth to the RB as a back-up though deeper doubts are hinted at in dicta. Another "Scalia is right" opinion too.
