Just days before a historic state Supreme Court hearing on Proposition 8, the Legislature approved a resolution Monday declaring that voters alone did not have the right to adopt the gay-marriage ban.

They have an agenda.
It really is time for the 2nd revolution.
You’ve got that right!
They’re firm believers in the democratic process until it returns a result they don’t want.
Just liberal hypocrisy. Move along, citizens, nothing to see here.
This would be an ex post facto law anywise.
Oops, there I go again, thinking a government will actually abide by the Constitution.

If they don't have the right alone, then they don't have the right at all.
How far is he willing to go with this analogy?
If same-sex marriage is the same as interracial marriage, is segregation based on sex just as insidious as segregation based on race? Following his logic, should “separate but equal” restrooms, locker rooms, barracks, etc. be outlawed? For all age groups? After all, racial segregation is not allowed for any age group.
Obviously, I don't see the connection between the two. Men and women are different - equal in the eyes of the law, but not identical or interchangeable. No amount of legislation will make them so.
Hmmm...considering that next year is when the voters are going to really feel the pinch of the Dems’ and Arnold’s oppressive taxing/fees on the general populace, and especially when you realize how much illegals are costing us when the Dems do nothing about them, the time may just be ripe for a moderate/conservative takeover of the legislature.
Couple that with this blatant disregard for voters’ rights and bingo! Oh, and did you know we’re being asked this June to vote for changing the Lottery to create bigger jackpots? It also allows the Legislature to “borrow” from the Lottery profits for the general fund to the tune of $5 billion next year. I KNEW they were going to do this! Can’t wait to see what happens when the teachers’ unions start campaigning against it - especially since there’s a companion proposition that wants to reduce the percentage of the state budget that was mandated to go to education.
and the irony is,
blacks hate gays.
michael medved recently interviewed a black church minister that had written a book on this.
I believe it is. Check out this video on youtube.

Yep.
That depends on CA's constitution, and I believe they are wrong. However, if CA's constitution is similar to the federal constitution in that respect, as much as I hate to admit it the legislators would be correct. The US form of federal government as originally designed by the founding fathers precludes making federal level law by popular referendum. The US was intended to be governed at the federal level as a Constitutional Republic, not as a pure democracy. And in that form of government the people indirectly make law by electing representatives to enact the desired federal laws within the boundaries set by a federal constitution that has been ratified by the states.
However, the US constitution does not require the individual states' constitutions to conform to the federal constitution's lawmaking system in that respect. If a simple majority of CA voters want to enact a law by referendum prohibiting "gay marriage" or any other practice not protected by the US constitution, unless the CA state constitution's lawmaking system conforms to the federal system, which is obviously not the case or else there would not have been a referendum on this issue, the CA legislature is wrong and a simple majority of CA voters have the right to prohibit any practice or act not protected by either the CA state constitution or the US constitution.
