SAN FRANCISCO -- California Attorney General Jerry Brown has changed his position with respect to the state's new same-sex marriage ban and is now urging the state Supreme Court to void Proposition 8.

Brown filed a brief Friday saying the measure, which amended the California Constitution to limit marriage to a man and a woman, is itself unconstitutional because it deprives gay couples of a fundamental right.

That's a polite way of saying, he's a skid mark.

The Tree of Liberty is in a drought. Time for a rain storm of biblical proportions if you ask me.

Texas is the only state that still has the right to secede from the union.

If we have the guts to do it is another thing.

Thou art surely correct, and unless conservatives understand that we are in the END STAGES of the war for the future of our country and fight accordingly, we have NO chance of victory.

California has become a state for the Legislature, no longer for the people. Californians vote and pass these measures, and then Sate Government reverses the will of the people again.. and again.. and again.

Correction: “Ober” should be “Uber”

According to Wikipedia: “California Über Alles” was the first single by the Dead Kennedys.

The title is an allusion to the first stanza of the old (and to this day, most famous) national anthem of Germany, which began with the words “Deutschland, Deutschland über alles.”

The song focuses on Jerry Brown, the Governor of California between 1975 and 1983, and is sung from his perspective. An imaginary Brown outlines a hippie-fascist vision for America, in which his “suede denim secret police” kill un-cool people with “organic poison gas” chambers. The song illustrates lead singer Jello Biafra’s concern with left-wing politicians mandating liberal ideas to the point of authoritarianism or fascism. Other lines, such as “Serpent’s egg already hatched” (a reference to a line from William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar), comment on the corrosive nature of power. The line “Now it is 1984” references the totalitarian regime of George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.

"What to do with an illegitimate government is, of course, a question to be discussed in private, but we have a proud history in this country to guide us, and an obligation to carry on a fight that was begun by our forefathers."

Which is precisely why the first impulse of liberals and anticonstitutionalists is to restrict the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Watch for the first acts of Barry Obama's regime.

This is not the first time that losers at the State level have ruled that the Constitution itself is Unconstitutional! Colorado did the same thing, a few years back.

I would say watch for the first acts of disenfranchised citizens. CWII will be the result.

We've reached a point in this country where every American must do some serious soul searching. My opinion on this subject is that I have always been a law-abiding citizen because I have respected the idea that the law is an extension of the will of the people, even when I don't agree with a particular law. However, the very moment when I no longer have even the least amount of say in how my own government governs because that government has decided that I am a subject rather than a citizen, I will no longer consider the government to be legitimate. What to do with an illegitimate government is, of course, a question to be discussed in private, but we have a proud history in this country to guide us, and an obligation to carry on a fight that was begun by our forefathers.

Well said. America is going to grow some domestic secessionist parties if this nonsense carries on.

IIRC, the Cal. courts have already overriden the people’s will by referendum, in the case of a proposition that prohibited the provision of social benefits to illegal immigrants. Thus, this Prop 8 would not be the first time. There is precedent. Expect it to happen.
