A federal judge surprised nearly everyone when ruling that a Utah constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage violated the U.S. Constitution. Did you hear the outrage? As Jeffrey Toobin notes in the New Yorker, neither did he. New Mexico had ruled its law unconstitutional the day before. And a few days later, an Ohio judge ruled that it was illegal to deny the existence of a same-sex marriage from another state on a Ohio death certificate. Maybe you can spot the trend.
