I think that, in this case, that is a distinction without a difference. It was not in doubt, because it is so clearly unjusitfiable. This case didn't happen in a vacuum..both State and Federal courts [[and SCOTUS on most of this) have come to the same conclusion. Freidman specifically delayed the trial to allow [[correctly i think) SCOTUS to issue an opinion on Windsor. Regnerus, the state's key witness here and elsewhere has been debunked over and over again and so have all the other "reasons" behind excluding gays from marriage.
The "fix" was not in...as you seem to be claiming.
