That's why I'm postponing any glee from this ruling. It's only a matter time, measured in years not decades, until California amends this amendment.

No, I don't think so. The demographics of this state are such that Mexicans will own it in mere years, and while they are all for socialism, they are not for the homo agenda. Democrats pandered to the homos because they were a large special interest group who could propel Democrats to victory, but the growing influence of Mexicans will make homos irrelevant.

Well then, the Mexicans better get here faster because the teacher union scumbags are doing overtime to indoctrinate children in our government schools to accept homo-perversion as normal and acceptable, and they'll be happy to do it bilingually.

That's actually a demographic I hadn't thought about. I haven't seen any of the exit polls for Prop8 that identified out the Latino vote. But, as you point out, it likely didn't break well for the gays.

They courted the Mexicans too. Some consequences are unintended.

Watch them start attacking the Catholic Church and Hispanic pastors. Pray for them.

As time goes on, more of that population will be second-generation and later (i.e. fully Americanized, and indistinguishable from others of their age cohort).

In any case, the decision turns out to be so narrow and technical (see above) as to be meaningless and leave the earlier court ruling in place on all issues but the specific legal label to be used.
