I don't think many understand how dangerous and insidious Jerry Brown's argument is. He isn't arguing that Prop 8 is a Constitutional Revision. In fact, he conceded in his brief that Prop 8 is a amendment and does not meet the criteria of a revision.

Instead, he is arguing that the will of the California Supreme Court is superior to that of the people. He is claiming that once the unelected judges declare a certain class of people to be a protected class and that their behavior is a "fundamental right" that it can NEVER be amended.

He is literally asking the judges to declare the Constitution Unconstitutional.

Why are you surprised? California's Democrats have no respect for the state's highest law. Not on taxes. And not on traditional marriage. They are the law and what they say goes. California has a government of men and not of laws.
