‘Marriage’ amendment OK’d for vote

Another set of state supremes, this time in Massachusetts have ruled in favor of the constitutional legality of a marriage definition amendment, this time in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts, showing that the legal system is not totally mind-dead just yet.

This allows the proposed amendment to continue its progress towards an eventual vote, possibly in 2008.

The same piece notes progress of similar move in Arizona, but a signature certification problem in Illinois on a non-binding initiated resolution.

In general, the Chief supports such amendments for a variety of reasons previously posted.
