All they need to win the suit is the same 5 out of 9 supreme court justices that legalized homosexual marriage in the last suit.

where’s Gavin Newsom? Why isn’t he out there leading the charge back into court?

Interesting review of the legal points. And a good question is posed as to why they spent $40 million trying to defeat Prop. 8. If they really believe that it was an illegal proposition, why would they try to defeat it? Why not just file suit after it passes, and save $40 million? I mean, if they really believe what they are saying?

It was 4 out of 7 on the Supreme Court which legalized same-sex marriage. The legal issue before the court is different this time. Now they have to decide if it was legal to have a proposition on the subject of marriage, not deciding whether marriage somehow discriminated against homosexuals.

but you are right, if the judges are hell bent on imposing homosexual marriage, they might just see merit in this newest lawsuit. Hopefully the judges have respect for the rule of law.

Does anyone else think that these endless lawsuits about marriage, and judges making up the law, has the effect of eroding respect for the rule of law? Laws written in plain language, laws which give every individual the same legal rights, somehow get interpreted as to be “discriminating” against a poltically correct oppressed group.

All the people need to do is remove the 4 of 7 judges that overturned their previous legislation.

Start the recall petition ASAP. California threw Rose Bird out on her butt and they should do the same again to this latest crop of judicial activists.
