I don’t get it. How can the courts rule on whether a constitutional amendment is acceptable?I will never understand that.

It's an amendment to the Constitution of the State of California.

It cannot be challenged in a State of California court. It can be challenged in a United States court as being in violation of the United States Constitution. That is the grounds for the lawsuit.

This lawsuit will pave the way for 50 state homosexual marriage.

The reason this is a key test case is because 30 other states have state constitutional amendments defining marriage. If the state of California is not allowed to have a constitutional amendment defining marriage, and that having same violates federal law, then presumeably every other state with such definition of marriage violates federal law.

The big irony here is that federal law defines marriage in exactly the same way as does the California and all other state constitutional amendments. Yet a state definition of marriage which agrees with federal law somehow violates federal law.

Liberals don’t care about the above legal contraditions, buecasue they want homosexual marriage and they want it now. I hope that any of you out there who are sympathetic with the gay agenda will be intellectually honest enough to admit that the process by which we’re seeing homosexual marriage imposed on America turns the law on its head, and completely disregards the will of the people, and, established legal procedures.

The left would never admit that, because the left wants what it wants, when it wants it, and would even see the destruction of legal processes which protect leftists in other contexts, just to get what they want in this particular case.

It was challenged in the CA Supreme Court. If you have a couple of days to waste, read their idiotic Constitution.

Florida isn't far behind. Our moonbat lefty supreme court regularly tosses amendments and referenda off the ballot before elections.
