Charles Krauthammer: Prop 8 Ruling Will Go To Supreme Court



Dr. Charles Krauthammer: "Look, Prop 8 passed by 52-percent of the vote. The same referendum eight years earlier in the same state passed with 62-percent. It's obvious where the trend is headed and over time states are legalizing gay marriage -- it's happened the right way by legislative action in D.C., in Vermont and New Hampshire. That's how it ought to be done, otherwise we're going to have an embittered country and there's going to be no recourse, in the legislative assemblies because of a ruling of a fiat of judges. That will be divisive and that will postpone a stable settlement of the issue."

(Real Clear Politics Video) - Krauthammer says it is very likely the Supreme Court will reverse the decision.
