Attack everything they can think of except…

David Boies was one of the top lawyers in the case to overturn the Calif. marriage ban that concluded (phase 1) two days ago. He attended and spoke at a rally in West Hollywood (the gay suburb Los Angeles, known as WeHo) to celebrate the victory. Part of what he said:

Most of what you’re going to hear from the other side is going to be a series of attacks. They’re going to attack the judge, they’re going to attack the judicial system, they’re going to attack everything they can think of to attack except the court’s opinion because I guarantee you… most of the people that are going to criticize the opinion will not have even read it.

I am, as I hope you've seen, contrarian enough to ask the question: So why haven't they read it? Perhaps because they can't refute it?

Pictures, videos (including one of Boies), and comments from that WeHo rally here.

And, of course, we need Jon Stewart's take on the ruling and the reaction to it. 8 minutes of fun.
