Roger Smalling, D.Min
There exists a small category of realities termed primordial. These require
no proof of existence beyond themselves. Time and space are good examples.
Empty space would exist even if nothing else did. We need not try to prove

Q. What if the Supreme Court upholds Proposition 8?
A. This would leave gay Californians without the right to marry in the state
and would tell the roughly 40 states that do not allow same-sex marriages

Such an outcome probably would trigger a political campaign in California to
repeal Proposition 8 through a ballot measure and could give impetus to
similar voter or legislative efforts in other states.
