Opponents of same-sex marriage condemned the ruling. Kris Mineau, president of Massachusetts Family Institute called it “another blatant example of a judge playing legislator.” Of course; anyone who disagrees with the conservative stance, regardless of judicial precedent, is "playing legislator," but judges who completely disregard judicial precedent for the whim of the conservative constituency is "standing up for American values."

Just out of curiosity, what do you all think are the chances of SCOTUS finding this act unconstitutional, given their recent rulings?
