“Well, apparently the will of the people doesn’t mean much in California..”

The will of the people is being ignored nation wide. How else can it be explained that, even today, the border is still porous as ever when it was made abundantly clear that the erection of a border fence was preferred by a large majority of the electorate.

Its a sad day for California. Not so much that Gays can get married now but that the will of the people was overturned by a few old Judges. What other laws can they overturn? How about making California a Bi-lingual state so everyone must learn Spanish? or maybe Smoking will be banned state wide even in the home? Or maybe Polygamy will be legalized next? A sad day indeed. Michael Reagan for Governor!

The fact that the Ca. Supreme Court takes a case that isn’t addressed by the States Constitution, I would think, would make it a legislative matter.

Our Supreme Court in Washington flipped us off not long ago by overturning an Initiative which limited property tax increases. It passed by a large margin, but the court said that we didn't really understand the Initiative.

It's infuriating. Imperial megalomaniac judges have wreaked havoc on this country.

Regarding the decision of California judges concerning gay marriage, given that the judges not only had Proposition 22 in their faces, but also that Californian’s will likely consider a one-man, one-woman marriage amendment to their constitution in November, the judges’ decision reeks of pro-gay, special-interest PC.

Romans 1:25-27 tells us that same-sex sexual relationships are a consequence of idolatry. In other words, such relationships are a consequence of disobeying the 1ST COMMANDMENT, a major aspect of the GREATEST COMMANDMENT, to love the jealous God with all your being.

Homosexuals need to keep in mind, however, that the good news of the gospel is not about how God despises same-sex sexual relationships. In fact, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 indicates that certain members of that church had been slaves to such relationships but had been cleansed in Jesus' name. So these former homosexuals had evidently repented and accepted God's grace to straighten their lives out.

Not the first time that's happened.....This is nothing knew. and nothing will be done this time either. The "people" are screwed.

The time "we" ( when I lived there...) voted for Prop 187, 209, 140....And the 9th Circuit struck them down....one after another.

Those were one of the reasons I left SoCal. And will NEVER move back...The will of THE PEOPLE doesn't mean anything.
