Marshall Had to Write Two Rulings on Gay Marriage because No One Could Understand the First One
Three of Marshall's Own Justices said  that Her First Decision Was Not “Rational,” Was “Nonsensical,” and Her Second Opinion Destroyed the “Fig Leaf” of Her First Opinion.
            Very few people remember that Marshall had to write two rulings on gay marriage because no one could understand the first one which was written in November 2003. The state Senate asked Marshall to explain what the first one really meant. Therefore, the embattled judge wrote a second one on Feb. 3, 2004.
            At that time, the three opposing Associate Justices who wrote passionately against her first ruling became even more disturbed with her second ruling.
            We have not previously reported this because if our readers were to know everything that is disturbing about this native of South Africa, our archives could produce an encyclopedia of information.
            However, what three of her own judges say about her is important. Therefore, we reprint some of our information from 2004 when Marshall wrote her second opinion.
