Even though a constitutional amendment aimed it prohibiting same-sex "marriage" is slated for a November vote, the California Supreme Court refused to delay the implementation of its decision invalidating a California law against the practice.
“The argument that a delay would avert confusion is without merit,” the court wrote. “The premise that a voter-approved amendment would restore a ban on gay marriage is invalid. There is no higher authority than this court. No election can change that. If the gay marriage ban amendment were to pass, we would just have to strike it down later. Therefore, since the vote will not change anything, there is no point in waiting for its outcome.”

Wow.
Satire,
but sadly close to the truth.
Okay, it’s humor.
It got me for a minute there. I really could see a court saying this.
At least California actually gets to vote on the issue through a ballot question. Massachusetts still refuses to do the same thing. Heaven forbid it if the Massachusetts voters should seriously ever get the right to vote on the issue through a ballot question!
Of course, I understand the lobbyist for the teachers' union supported Coupe Deval in the gubernatorial election , and she is also the lobbyist for the gays. A two-fer.
Still, the least the solons could have done was to let the voters decide, instead of being bribed by plum after-elected-public-service appointment opportunities.
