Looks like Obama's administration might help Californians soon.

Since they're going with the fact that Prop 8 breaks the 14th amendment, there might be a high chance that Prop 8 will be repealed and gay marriage will be recognized and legal in California. If they were to add that it also breaks the Full Faith and Credit clause, then I'm sure the proposition would have a much higher possibility of it being repealed.
Opinions on this? As a Californian, I'm actually happy about this. There's also much more people in California that are in favor of Prop 8 being taken out.

[quote] In the past two decades, the money that states spend on prisons has risen at six times the rate of spending on higher education. In 2011, California spent $9.6 billion on prisons, versus $5.7 billion on higher education..... The state spends $8,667 per student per year. It spends about $50,000 per inmate per year. Why is this happening? Prisons are a big business. Most are privately run. They have powerful lobbyists and they have bought most state politicians. Meanwhile, we are bankrupting out states and creating a vast underclass of prisoners who will never be equipped for productive lives. [99] — Fareed Zakaria, CNN, March 30, 2012[/quote] Here's one reason why ^ As for the gay marriage situation, I can see the outlook improving. It really feels like we are at the tipping point; a number of countries are in the process of/have adopted gay marriage, and the United States shall hopefully, federally, follow suit.
