What about prop 22? 60% said no to homosexual marriage.
What good is the ballot?
It was a mistake to use a merely legislative approach on Prop. 22. I knew from the start that the only way to get the homogamy ban to stick was to use a constitutional amendment, which is available to the voters in California.
We passed a constitutional amendment in Oregon. They have kind of circumvented that by legalizing civil unions, but that’s as far as they can go.
If the same group gets out in November to vote for the marriage amendment, they can overturn this court ruling.
It’s usually good for Republicans if there is a marriage amendment on the ballot, unless the democrats successfully label the republicans as racists — blacks actually support gay marriage amendments.
