The California Supreme Court rules to UPHOLD Proposition 8 (which put into the California state constitution that marriage is defined as being between a man and woman)
The court also ruled on the validation of the pseudo-marriages performed before passage of Prop 8.
That’s it exactly. The recession isn’t confined to the USA. Economies all over the world are suffering—including Mexico and Central America.
You are correct and it was a great day for America.
perhaps it is time to start forcing “preventing homosexual behavior” curicula into the school systems.

Hey penis-breath, it's called We The People.
Look it up.
is in direct opposition to:
"I never thought I'd live in a state where the legislative branch, the executive branch and the judicial branch are all made irrelevant in a context of protecting a minority's rights - that's where we are in California today."

I disagree. The text itself leads to that interpretation, so they didn’t overturn it in substance either. Prop 8 really was about a word.

It’s still going to take a lot of work.
We have a lot of work to do to get our
country back, but I agree this helps
some to see that it’s possible.
“Of course they uphold it. Anyone who thought otherwise is crazy. They would never overturn the vote of the people”
I hope you’re being facetious. This is the second time
we Californians have had to vote for marriage because
they overturned our original defining of marriage
that we voted on back in 2000.
Yeah, I already said in previous threads that I was being sarcastic :-)
Hi -
You’ve got FReepmail... Thanks!
Doesn’t smell right — I’ll give you some thoughts when I have more time...
Right on! And another small victory was Kris Allen winning “American Idol” over Adam Lambert. As you know, Lambert is the next gay hero of the mainstream liberal biased press.
