I understand (very WELL) why people are nervous about the outcome of this trial, and also its outcome at the SCOTUS level. We have no choice here, we MUST fight this battle. To win is everything, to loose…. Well…. we will just keep on fighting. Hell, I have been in this battle as long as anyone, and I am more than willing to keep it up as long as it takes. To quote a former President of the United States (whom I LOATHE, by the way) BRING IT ON!

regarding this case going to SCOTUS, what happens in the privacy of our bedrooms lost the first time in Bowers v Hardwick before for it prevailed in Lawrence v Texas. Both very similar cases.

That we are winning points in testimony has an impact on the outcome of this trial? I will believe we can win when we do. Until then I expect the same old same old Lip service.

The Judge is not an idiot. His job is to listen to both sides and review all the evidence then come to a conclusion. We had 17 witnesses and are backed by a huge list of professional orgs.. They had 2 witnesses that stuck around and they pretty much supported US. I don’t see how the Judge could come to any other conclusion but to find in our favor. While I do not hold my breath about the outcome, I do feel that we have stated the best case and have a shot at winning. When it goes to the SCOTUS, we will have the same strong case and they will still look like the scared and ignorant bunch they are.

“Watch us lose this case anyway”. I refuse to adopt either negativity or optimism regarding this trial. I prefer to take a wait and see attitude.

Even as much as I deplore the human race for it’s inhumanity to man…. I am hopefull (YES hopefull, naive as it may seem) that if and when this case gets to the SCOTUS that we will prevail.

Granted, we may in fact lose. But, I am an optimist (even though, years of experience have taught me to be otherwise)

The battle rages on, and I am ever-ready to take up arms against our enemies.

Take heart my brothers and sisters, our cause is JUST!

On the surface this is going so badly for the H8′ers that I wonder if the defense is going for a mistrial. They may also be relying on SCOTUS to rule blindly in their favor, but the Supremes could refuse to hear the case and let the CA verdict stand.

Talk to any lesbian or gay middle or high school student about the power of gays in California. They can tell you how that $43 million prevented them from being mocked, ridiculed, bullied and beaten by the bigoted children of so-called Christians.

Roberts favors narrowly tailored rulings, so I’m hoping this will be one of those. It probably will be against us, but maybe it will only apply to California.

Can they rule against us under the constitution? In my opinion, they can’t. It will be one of those rulings that every jurist in the country knows is nonsense.
