“At the same time, even justices who voted against striking down’s California’s previous ban on gay marriage, indicated that Proposition 8 should not wipe out an estimated 18,000 same-sex marriages that took place last year.
“Is that really fair to people who depended on what this court
said was the law?”
So when slavery was finally outlawed, it should only apply to new slaves? What a bunch of crap.
You can’t always get everything.
If the uphold Prop 8, even if they let these so-called “marriages” stand, I can live with that outcome.
It is the continued attacks on Prop 8 supporters that disturbs me more.
What a concept!
I hope Prop 8 will be upheld, but, it seems from past experience that is difficult to predict a decision based on the questions asked by the justices.
As I understand it the question is whether the ban on gay marriage was a revision to the Constitution, which have to initiate in the legislature, or an amendment, which can be added to the ballot by petition. It looks like they’re leaning towards the amendment view.
The Feds in concert with their state government co-conspirators burned the ballots and declared CA prop 187 illegal after the people of state held a free election and voted overwhelmingly for it. 187 would have put a stop to the endless government tax paid support of illegal aliens.
The results of that punitive government intrusion can now be seen coast to coast, in every single city and town in this country, while at the same time, forcing Americans to subsidize this violent invasion of millions with billions of tax dollars.
Don’t underestimate the sleazy, underhanded, thuggish ability of these hard core leftists to invent a way to tell the voters to shove it. The shamelessness of the self-satisfied left knows no bounds.
I sure hope they do the people of California have voted twice for this. Those marriages should have never happned in the first place and I don’t see how they could be legal if this is upheld?
