The legislature is overiding the voice of the people which has become a habit in California in recent years.

This is utterly sickening and is a habit which must be broken.

I must respectfully disagree. This is the way a republic is supposed to work. They're not using the courts, the elected representatives are making law.

Of course, the public then has the right to oust the creeps. But there's the problem - term limits have made them unaccountable to the public.

[TOUGH STOUGH]

Not when the public has already voted for another bill. By promoting a bill which does not preserve marriage for heterosexuals and permits homosexual marriage, the legislature is saying to voters, "You didn't vote the way we wanted, so we will ignore the bill for which you voted and pass the bill we wanted in the first place and hoped you would vote for.
