A few (slightly more rational) notes on Goodridge v. Department of Public Health:
Although it only pertains to Massachusetts, this can actually be a good thing, because the constitutionality of the updated marriage laws can't be challenged unless a DOM amendment is passed. Why? Because the power to enact marriage laws is a power reserved to the states. So there ain't a bloody thing Dubya can do about it. Boo YEAH.
Second, do I even have to say Important legal precedent? Mwahaha.
And, just to sweeten the deal for me, Simon's Rock and MIT are both in Massachusetts. SCORE
