The problem, of course, is that the court's ruling means that the only way to challenge the Civil Union Act in court is to initiate a new action in the Superior Court, hoping to push things forward quickly to compile a factual record and, perhaps, a ruling that the Civil Union Act is unconstitutional, which the state would undoubtedly appeal (can any one doubt that Gov.
