In a tentative decision Monday, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Richard Kramer declared the state laws limiting marriage to a man and a woman unconstitutional. Legal groups opposed to gay marriage say they'll attack the judge's strict-scrutiny analysis of California marriage laws on appeal. Neither a marriage law enacted by legislators nor another passed by voters meets constitutional muster under the strict-scrutiny test Kramer says should apply, nor would it under a less stringent rational-basis test.
