The slip opinion (.pdf file there) of the California Supreme Court in in re Marriage Cases is a doozy - 172 pages.

But let me tell you, reading the summary in the first 11-12 pages is a joy.

Still reading it - 172 pages is a lot to digest.

I read the first 11 pages, and I liked what I read. I'll continue reading it later, when I have a few hours to digest it all.

Wow. The result one could see coming, but sexual orientation as a suspect class? That I did not see coming. (Of course, that'll probably kill its value as persuasive precedent in other states, but at least the fundamental right analysis seems pretty traditional and sure-footed.)
