Ninth Circuit Ruling: Lessons of Our Constitutional History

From today's ruling from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on the unconstitutionality of Idaho and Nevada's same-sex marriage bans.

I think this sums up a lot of truth:

"The lessons of our constitutional history are clear: inclusion strengthens, rather than weakens, our most important institutions.

"When we integrated our schools, education improved.

"When we opened our juries to women, our democracy became more vital.

"When we allowed lesbian and gay soldiers to serve openly in uniform, it enhanced unit cohesion.

"When same-sex couples are married, just as when opposite-sex couples are married, they serve as models of loving commitment to all."
