(St. Paul, MN) -- A federal judge has struck down California's Proposition Eight, and Minnesotans can now expect a renewed push for a constitutional amendment in this state prohibiting same-sex marriage, after a federal judge struck down California's Proposition Eight. Opponents of same-sex marriage want an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution, warning the current "Defense of Marriage" law is vulnerable to court challenges. Both sides want to make same-sex marriage an issue in the fall election, but the economy and the war could overshadow it. Meanwhile, Catholic Archbishop John Neinstedt is criticizing the judge's ruling in the California case, calling it "sad and almost incomprehensible" for the court to deny the Judeo-Christian and natural law definition of marriage, particularly after the people of California voted to support it.
