Jesse Choper quoted in Ventura County Star, June 26, 2013
“We don’t know what the future of gay marriage in the states is,” said Professor Jesse Choper of UC Berkeley’s Boalt Hall School of Law. We are left with “strong hints,” he said, that if a state is willing to grant gays the right to marry, “then the federal government can’t come in and say, no we’re going to treat them differently.” But the opinions do not address what happens in states where there is no law allowing gays to marry.
