One must wonder if this judge was merely trying to find an excuse for his bigotry or if he was trying to force the SCotUS to take up the decision.

Each point he makes in his opinion has been refuted by scientific study and common sense. Heck, even other 'conservative' justices have thrown those arguments out as unfounded and irrational.

There are bound to be judges who genuinely regard marriage as man + woman on the grounds of tradition and are sufficiently constitutionally literalist to see no conflict with regard to equal protection. So I doubt it's a punt as such, but I do wonder what judges think about decisions that are so plainly going to end up with SCOTUS at some point anyway, and whether that affects their approach. 

You're right about his comments regarding "social scientists" being odd - just plain bizarre, actually. The view regarding the stability of homosexual partnerships is based on research, not opinion. Sounds like one of those "just a theory" people.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
