Prop 8 Ruling FINAL

• Credit where credit is due. Legal documents aren’t nearly as exciting as videos, obviously, but that didn’t stop the Prop 8 decision from becoming Scribd’s most viral document ever – getting 100,000 views in 24 MINUTES. It currently rests at 280,000 views, which would be a pretty killer number for your average YouTube video. And Scribd took advantage of the extra traffic by loading the document with display ads.

• Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite sex couples are superior to same-sex couples.
• Judge Vaughn R. Walker • In his decision on same-sex marriage. To put it simply: Prop 8 made gay people second-class citizens. No mincing words. Walker says that the law violated the plaintiffs’ due process and equal protection rights, which overall locks up the ruling tightly. Of course it’s going to get appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, but it’s worth noting two things: First, Walker, who is gay, was assigned the case randomly.

• A comment on Sarah Palin’s Facebook page • Which was subsequently deleted. Palin does this a lot – her Facebook page is immaculately vetted, something that seemed very likely to us when we noticed basically everyone on Palin’s Facebook page was pro-Sarah a couple of months ago. Palin’s staff deletes a lot of comments – good, bad, not really that bad at all – but fortunately for us, Slate devised a script that grabbed those comments so we could read them before they got deleted. Good show, guys. source
