I wonder what “conservative” radio talk show host Michael Savage now thinks of Jerry Brown, to whom he contributed $5,000?

True.

But that’s a revolutionary right, not a legal right.

If this stands, they’ve just removed the last remnant of legitimacy from their authority. If legitimate power derives from the People, as the Constitution and the D of I says it does, then any polity in which the people can be overruled is by definition no longer legitimate.

There can be only one ultimate authority in any polity. It’s either the People, or the Elite. The Elite appears to be going for finalizing that they are the final authority, as they have been in Europe for several decades.

Savage probably always knew that Jerry was a fruitcake.

“like demanding that homosexual diversity be taught in the pubic schools.”

H*ll they do this now and have been doing this for years. Why do you think younger voters went against Prop * by a large margin?

Anyone who does not home school his children faces the certainty of them turning against you after they attend the public school indoctrination camps.

He was unusual, but had some good points. He lived like a monk. His state car was a Plymouth, right of the the state garage. People say he's gay, but I think he is celibate.

Many of the state police officer associations supported him, but he opposed longer sentences and the death penalty. We had about 28,000 prisoners when he was gov and now we have 180,000+

He was largely responsible for prop 13. He had a 5 billion dollar surplus and no tax decrease or refund. So we passed prop 13 for property tax relief when the state had a lot of surplus.

On the last niight in office before midnight, he signed the bill to give state employees collective bargaining. Something that has been trouble ever since.

Be the kind of American you want, as will I.

Like every idiot who has used this argument, you are making no sense what so ever. This amendment does not take away rights from anyone. It actually affirms that everyone has the same right, the right to get married. Gays have that right today, they simply have to get married to someone of the opposite sex. That is the same right that the rest of us have. What gays want is special privilege, just as other so called minorities want special privilege.

They don't want to be equal, they want to be "special".

To say prop 8 takes away rights that never existed, in any context, is just plain stupid.

You have the right to believe how you want, I, and others, have the right to call your beliefs idiotic and nonsensical.

I hope we recall all the judges and Jerry Brown if this amendment is trashed, I know I will be wanting to do more than recall the bastards.

In a dramatic reversal, Attorney General Jerry Brown filed a legal brief

I am Shocked

Like, you think it isn't already happening?

The monogamous marriage is a religious rite and it comes directly from religion.

Since when should the religious standard of monogamous marriage be applied to secular law???

Why not polygyny or polyandry???

ANSWER: Religious faggots cannot admit there is an axiomatic state of reproductive mammalian biology scientifically consistent with evolutionary theory.

No man may become a law unto himself under the guise of freedom of religion. Some of these liberal-tarians forget, it is THEY who advocate “separation of church and state.” Let me cram it right back down their throats...

It was landmark U.S. Supreme Court precedent Reynolds v. United States in 1878 that made “separation of church and state” a dubiously legitimate point of case law, but more importantly; it confirmed the Constitutionality in statutory regulation of marriage practices.

Now, it ain't so palatable to them, is it? They are the ones here bashing the religious folks, now they want to claim some mercurial, ever changing definition of freedom of religion? I'm not going to live in their hell...
