Ruling cites naked discrimination against gays in Prop 8 ruling
Constitutional law professor Richard Levy says 9th Circuit found California Prop 8 unconstitutional for discriminatory purpose and violation of the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause. He cautions Kansas’ amendment could face similar invalidation, while local opinions on federal impact vary. Kansas laws include a sodomy statute and calls to repeal outdated laws grow under Gov. Brownback’s reform office.
