Legal Brief du Jour

From Oregon AG Ellen Rosenblum, a response brief in Geiger et al. Key passage:

The state defendants in this case recognize that the ban on same-sex marriage serves no rational purpose and harms Oregon citizens. This case presents that rare case in which there simply is no legal argument to be made in support of a state law.

Via Joe.My.God. The full brief is here. The rest of it is just as devastating to the anti-marriage arguments.
