Back in June, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in the Windsor case, ruling that the Defense of Marriage Act, passed overwhelmingly by both houses of Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996, was unconstitutional. Six months later, judge Robert N. Spencer, an administrative law judge in Colorado, ruled that Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Denver must serve same-sex couples by making wedding cakes, or face fines.On a related note, a judge in Utah has struck down portions of a law that prohibit polygamy. The reason I say it is related is that the reasoning is the exact same as that which was used to by the supreme court to strike down the defense of marriage act. It is sad, but not unexpected.
