NYT Article on Prop. 8 Lawsuit

The article argues that it's too early to bring a gay marriage lawsuit to the Supreme Court, that Loving vs. Virginia was possible because most states had done away their ban on interracial marriages by the time the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional. So basically the Supreme Court just follows public opinion and wouldn't make a decision that'd be vastly unpopular among the majority. The majority of course, is against gay marriage.
