So in short passion won and reason lost. I think this is commonly referred to as bigotry winning.
Reason won - read the 14th Amendment.
Ha ha. I have read the 14th Amendment. I have also read all of the cases associated with the case and studied constitutional interpretation. I assure you reason did not win.
When reading the majority opinion you may readily see the ruling is based upon pathos arguments of loneliness and dignity. The law is to be free of passion (pathos). Are we to say any law that leaves someone feeling lonely or undignified is in violation of the 14th Amendment (ready to open the prisons and let everyone out)? Of course not. That would be stupid!! Than what is with the special pleading? That is what they did here so why isn't it stupid?
