Denying same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, a Japanese high court says
  • I believe this is because Japan works under a civil law system, which means that case law is subordinate to written law. This means that courts have much less power to impose their decisions upon the executive. Thus I think it is because the Japanese legislature never passed a law which explicitly allows for same sex marriage, the executive is allowed to deny these unions.

    However this is based on a very surface level understanding of legal systems and I am by no means an expert. I find the language surrounding legal systems to be very confusing.

  • How are you brewing?
  • I've really been enjoying my Bialetti brikka pot. It turns out that the trick with that pot is that you shouldn't fill up the water reservoir all the way up to the valve, because then it overheats easily.
