Darkness Over the Fruited Plain

San Francisco County Superior Court Judge Richard Kramer ruled Monday that

"The state's protracted denial of equal protection cannot be justified simply because such constitutional violation has become traditional," . . . "Simply put, same-sex marriage cannot be prohibited solely because California has always done so before."

Soon, polygamists will demand equal protection. Likewise, the National Association of Man-Boy Lovers will demand legitimacy for pedophilia. They will require equal protection too. The nudists and naturalists will cry out for equal protection for their free speech expressed in public nudity. The homeless will demand their "constitutional" right to sleep on the streets under equal protection.

The hour is late. It's getting dark over the fruited plain.
