he reached a different conclusion "upon further reflection and a deeper probing into all the aspects of our Constitution.

A pig knows more about the application of lipstick than the weird Jerry Brown could ever know about the Constitution.

Surprise, Surprise!

Gee I wonder why didn’t we believe him a month ago when he said he would vigorously defend the peoples vote.

He has been trying to sabotage prop 8 from the beginning when he changed the wording on the ballot to help it lose.

This is actually quite astonishing, although not at all surprising.

Our masters are displaying themselves for the first time, no longer hiding behind the veil of democracy.

Courts and government officials are openly proclaiming their right and duty to override the vote of the people, even in the form of an amendment to the very constitution from which these officials derive their power.

If this stands, it can presumably be equally applied to the Constitution of the US. That means we lose even the last theoretical potential of being able to rescue ourselves from their tyrannical misinterpretation of the Constitution by changing the document.

Its actually about Jerry Brown's 2010 gubernatorial aspirations. Proposition 8 is legally and morally sound. But Brown has political IOUs to pay off to the radical gay lobby. Fortunately, Prop. 8's official proponents were granted standing to defend it before the court since they could not trust the state to defend the people's interest in it. They turned out to be prescient.

“His legal duty as attorney general of the state is to defend initiatives passed by the voters,”

Since when has a State Constitution or the people’s will ever effected a liberal?

When the ballot box no longer works, the time for stronger measures is not far away. Paul Revere would be yelling the Liberals are coming, the Liberals are coming...

California's attorney general has changed his position on the state's new same-sex marriage ban and is now joining forces with homosexual activists to overturn the results of Proposition 8.

Hey, Moonbeam, the people have spoken. I guess California is a dictatorship now?

For thousands of years and in EVERY civilized society, “marriage” has been defined as a union between a MAN and a WOMAN! And Brown calls gay “marriage” “... a FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT??” Maybe on HIS planet!

Governor Moonbeam strikes again!

Up next: “The Migratory Mammal Matrimony Act of 2009!”

I think that “reflection” was either a threat or a bribe.

Does the article anywhere refer to what Californians know = he’s gay. So why the surprise he’s out to negate the people’s vote?

I wonder what “conservative” radio talk show host Michael Savage now thinks of Jerry Brown, to whom he contributed $5,000?
