Eventually Marriage Equality will be won n the courts as more states pass Marriage Equality, but I'm sure it will go all the way to the Supreme Court. Anyone who chooses to file a suit will need to be ready to take it all the way there- a very costly proposition.<br /><br />It will be critical to see how the Prop 8 case in California continues to unfold. That case, coupled with all the suits challenging the Federal DOMA will set the stage for future legal action here in PA.THomas Watershttp://thomascwaters.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-48563478943235789292011-05-10T09:15:45.984-04:002011-05-10T09:15:45.984-04:00Thanks for the link to the Trib.
