Soulforce tells me that the Connecticut Supreme Court has ok'd gay marriage.
These cases are important both as part of the discussion of sex and politics, and because they find important rights under state constitutions. Haven't read the decision yet.
update: of course, volokh had this 50 minutes before I did. Was doing laundry.
The decision started off well but ended up tl:dr. Much discussion in favor of applying intermediate scrutiny to anti-gay discrimination. Didn't read the 3 dissents.
Meanwhile, Cooper v Aaron turned 50 yesterday. Carl Tobias has a column that almost misses the point: it's an important case as to desegregation and enforcing Brown v Board, but it's a landmark case about seperation of powers and federalism.
