“Strangely, I was actually more concerned about this than the Presidential election.”
An Obama court will overturn this after a while. I don’t understand your thinking.
Meanwhile, Michigan loosens restrictions on stem cell research.
But they then voted for Obama, who with one swipe of a pen can make null and void this ammendment. Or, appoint judges to the Supreme Court to nullify this.
God wake us up.
The good news is that even a liberal state doesn’t want marraige to be redefined.
I was concerned, too. A change in administrations is something that happens every four years - we’ll kick and argue and fight, but we’ll get through it - but a change in the basic structure of our society is something that is fundamental and, in this case, wrong.
They'll probably get it too.
They'll either find a court to say their Constitution is un-Constitutional, or The One will issue some executive order.
Don't yell faggot* in a public theater.

52.1% to 47.9%
4 percentage points difference means it’s only a matter of time.

Pointless. It’ll just be reversed/overturned by the Ninth Circuit, legislating from the bench. Again.
I guess Ellen is no longer a groom.
Just heard on Fox that some CA group is going to challenge this via the US Constitution using lawyer Gloria Alred.
I’m guessing it will focus somehow on Scotus’ right to privacy for homosexuals. What do you all think?
Now the law suits start. I agree with you about this being more important than the Presidential election. While I strongly opposed Obama, I was concerned as to how the real conservatives could begin to retake the Republican party with Mc Cain at the helm. I would like to see Newt take over as Chairman of the RNC and get this thing going.
(yawn)
The scumbag Democrats will challenge this prop in court and get a permanent “stay”.
In other words, “Prop 8” will meet the same fate as every other proposition passed by California voters. And the people will simply bend over, grab their ankles, say “thank you”, and then go back to sleep....
Big deal.
Not even *California* would pass it.It wasn’t even close.But that’s not surprising.However,the pervs and perv sympathizers in Massachusetts have *done their best* to keep the issue off the ballot and have succeeded.They’ve done it because they know that poll after poll says that it would be defeated....SOUNDLY....here.
The inmates are taking over the asylum. They lost this one — narrowly — but they will be back. Twenty years ago, the term “gay marriage” would have evoked laughter from 90 percent of the people in this country.
We have now reached the point in this “Emperor’s New Clothes” country where a huge percentage of the population thinks that biological fact is irrelevant.
Sex and sexual attraction have an obvious biological purpose. Men and women have complementary parts for a reason. The things that homosexuals and lesbians do to simulate actual intercourse range from the ridiculous to the disgusting. Homosexuals had a shortened life span even before AIDS. That is, in part, because the rectum has a delicate lining and is not made for the kind of use to which homosexuals put it. Fecal material is forced through tiny tear into the blood stream, causing terrible infections.
Same sex attraction is an obvious dysfunction. It is as if a person had a pathological urge to eat by stuffing his food in his ears. There is no reason to act as if any combination of persons or other organisms who are willing to mutually apply friction to genitals is somehow a “relationship” which society must honor. There is no reason to treat homosexuality as “normal,” or to give it any kind of societal imprimatur.
This is complete insanity.
You folks are delusional if you think this was more important that losing the presidency — Dems are going to vastly change this country with their new found majorities.
I keep thinking about Biden going on about not denying “constitutional rights” to anyone when asked about this subject. And Mrs. Hussein has stated quite openly that full “rights” for homosexuals is a top priority (she has spokent o homosexual “rights” groups on more than once occasion and said this). And Mr. Hussein, while professing support for the traditional definition of marriage, has expressed opposition to Prop. 8.
I agree that the most likely avenue for the left to have homosexual “marriage” become the law of the land is through the courts. But they just might try and enact some kind of federal “domestic partner” legislation as a step towards legalization of homosexual “marriage” at the federal level. I do not believe that the left is much concerned about the prerogatives of the individual states and besides, if it is a “human right” they can intrude the national government in any time they want. Who is going to stop them?
