Gee, I am on pins and needles waiting for what lame excuse the Californian Supreme Court will use to overturn the will of the people once again. We don’t need no stinking votes or legislature for that matter....
The SCOC will overturn a properly approved referendum. The question remains, will the “majority” make the appropriate response by demanding their impeachment?
What sort of dirt does Perez Hilton and the Lavender Mafia have on the justices?
California is unravelling fast.
For the umpteenth friggin’ time -
Proposition 8 DOES NOT BAN ANYTHING. It simply affirms what was settled custom and law in California - and everywhere else on planet Earth since the dawn of history - that marriage is an exclusively heterosexual thang.
The liberals find some judge somewhere to uphold some wacky new “civil right” for five minutes before it’s overturned, and then that five minute right becomes set in stone for all time, and any attempt to restore the sane status quo ante becomes a “ban” or some other kind of oppression. It’s a neat, albeit blatantly obvious and dishonest, tactic.
Anybody want to take any bets on what the “men in black” will rule?
I say they’re nothing less than political animals for whom the law and the California Constitution are totally irrelevant. They are weighing their re-election chances - - the votes of normal, decent, traditional American families (who haven’t yet escaped California) versus the votes and significant financial support of the goofball, hate-America, love-perversion lefties with the big mouths.
Good luck with all that, men in black.
What I don’t understand is, the CA Supremes already ruled that prop 8 could go forward. If it was not legit than why was it allowed to go on the ballot in the first place?
Peons, your betters are meeting together to decide your fate.
Doesn't that say enough? The majority wants it... Isn't that how our governments are supposed to work. What the hell is going on?
scary, courts are king
We believe that allowing people to vote is unConstitutional....
Well at least Califorians GOT a chance to vote on this......TWICE! That’s something that those of us in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts NEVER got!(otherwise,we would have tossed out gay “marriage”,too).
California’s state constitution is REALLY broken. It needs to be completely re-written. Maybe someone can explain to me how the state supreme court can get involved in an amendment to the constitution. I can see how they can overturn a law, but not a constitutional amendment. Only federal court should have jurisdiction. My understanding of the US constitution is that this is one of the checks and balances. Amending the constitution allows the states to super-cede the Supreme Court and they cannot overturn it. They are sworn to uphold it— even if they disagree.

Even if it is upheld by the state supreme court, the pro gays are gathering signatures to put this on the ballot in 2010. That battle will even be uglier than the fight for prop 8.
They are relentless and little by little they will get there way as oppostion to gay marriage decreases as more young people get older and vote.
The people of Kalifornia have spoken clearly on this subject many times!
If they want equal rights, that’s fine! They cannot be married because that is a holy ceremony reserved for one man and one woman only!
