[lowkell]

BuzzFeed legal editor Chris Geidner tweets: "First take: Virginia marriage amendment likely will be struck down by 4th Circuit, by Judges Gregory and Floyd. Niemeyer likely to dissent." Geidner adds: "Gregory focused on marriage being an individual right, at times asking whether the Virginia focus on procreation was 'totalitarianism.'" and "Niemeyer focused on man/woman marriage being historical understanding and same-sex marriage being something diff bc no natural procreation...'It takes a male and female to have a child, to have a family.'"
