The job of California Supreme Court is to apply the text of the California constitution and it's originally-intended meaning to any given case they are considering. In this case, the originally intended meaning in the California constitution of marriage is obviously the traditional union of a man and a woman. By that definition, NOT by the poplar vote of the people, these judges have committed not only judicial heresy but what I consider should be a crime in wantonly ignoring the original intent of the constitution. In issues of the constitution, the popular vote of the people comes into play by creating a constitutional amendment.

The separation of governmental powers is vital to our freedoms and that includes keeping the judiciary non-political. The job of the judiciary branch is simply to apply the law, not make up their own laws and certainly not worry about a popular vote if the result is found to be unconstitutional.

This is Judicial Tyranny and they answer to no one. The Judicial System in America is corrupt and full of egotistical idiots. The system polices itself and lawyers or a God unto themselves. They will take us down this road as far as we are willing to allow it. They set have total control of government now and nothing short of a Revolution can save America.

Tyrants passing as judges crap in the face of voters once again. Spending millions to go to the polls and millions of gallons of gas all flushed down the drain to placate the black-robed dictators.

I've asked for the proof that the Cali Constitution defines marriage, yet to see it. You got link, or even the cut/paste version. Is there wording that bans gay marriage? If yes, the Court is wrong. If no, the mob doesn't rule in this Country, the Court was right, all the wailing and thrashing about aside. Blackbird.
