The
U.S. Supreme Court ruled today that lightning can no longer strike only where positive and negative ions
are attracted to each other. Five of the nine Supreme Court justices found that exclusive positive-negative ion interaction of that kind is discriminatory to positive-positive
and negative-negative ion relationships and therefore unconstitutional. “We
hereby decree that opposites shall not necessarily attract anymore,” stated
Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the majority opinion.
Proponents
of Lightning-Strike-Equality hailed this as a "truly landmark decision."
