SAN FRANCISCO -- California Attorney General Jerry Brown has changed his position with respect to the state's new same-sex marriage ban and is now urging the state Supreme Court to void Proposition 8.
Brown filed a brief Friday saying the measure, which amended the California Constitution to limit marriage to a man and a woman, is itself unconstitutional because it deprives gay couples of a fundamental right.

fundamental right to what?
or is asking that question, a hate crime?
I voted YES on Prop 8 so I guess when we vote for something in this state, it’s meaningless. Hey let’s just throw the whole constitution out the window since it’s meaningless anyway right. Am I living in a cartoon or is my country going down the toilet
To piss off heterosexuals.
Declaring a portion of the Constitution “unconstitutional” would be a judicial nuclear bomb.
Why vote?
How many times have voters been told to suck it up by the black robes as they overturned votes?
More proof, California is governed by idiots.
The Cal Supreme Court could have avoided all this.
Now, they are back in the bullseye again.
Both.
No, that’s a flush you hear.
Liberals NEVER accept defeat. NEVER. If they lose an election, it’s because they were “cheated.” If they lose a vote like this, well the people were just too stupid to vote on something like this and therefore they shouldn’t have been allowed to vote on it in the first place. Of course, had the vote gone THEIR way, rest assured the “will of the people” would have been juuuuuuuuust fine.
Folks, this is how the left has effected a 40-year coup that is now culminating with their capstone achievement, the installation of an illegitimate president. They never give up, they attack from every angle imaginable, no matter how bizarre.
If we are to ever take back our country, we absolutely must adopt a similar mindset.

maybe Jerry should get a law degree before peddling his legal opinions !
Hey, in a time like this,it’s a great way to save money on elections and legislative salaries. Just have the Supreme Court decide everything!
Well more than a few people here say move on “we will get them in 2010 or 2012.” They also say that ‘we do not want to be portrayed as kooks.” The media is ALWAYS going to portray conservatives badly.
When we fight we have a chance of winning.
“Liberals NEVER accept defeat. NEVER.”
In politics this is true. But liberals WANT defeat anytime we are engaged militarily. When it comes to foreign policy the constantly cheer for our defeat.
Does he still profess to be a Roman Catholic?
Yeah, we've been listening to those people for 40 years and look what it's gotten us. Far too many conservatives seem obsessed with a desire for our enemies to "like" us or "approve" of us. It's why our "leaders" get shouted over and ridiculed on TV shows. It's how we allowed the insanity of political correctness to become so entrenched that we're having to fight for the word "Christmas."
I'm sick of it. Liberals will hate our guts no matter what; while we're figuring out how to "reach out," they're calculating a better angle for the knife. We CANNOT get along with liberals because we have diametrically opposed worldviews, and it's time to stop pretending otherwise. This is about the future heart and soul of this nation, and probably its very survival.

So the constitution as amended is unconstitutional??
Whackjobs like Brown think that dope, sodomy and baby killing are fundamental rights.
I expect this to be reversed. These robed tyrants think of this as a Plessy case. They are lighting a fuse.
