The California Supreme Court's surprising announcement that it will quickly review the legality of Proposition 8, banning gay marriage, has prompted growing speculation that the four judges who found a right to gay marriage in the state Constitution in a May ruling will quickly throw Prop. 8 out. If that happens, watch out for a "barn-burner of an election -- the biggest thing this state has ever seen," says recall election guru Ted Costa.
Costa says he's already been contacted by some of the folks who would seek to recall Ronald George, Joyce Kennard, Kathryn Werdegar and Carlos Moreno if Prop. 8 is scrapped. He thinks it's premature and risky because talk of a recall "would just (bleep) off the judges."
Costa also doesn't sound like he's too thrilled about such a recall, saying it wouldn't be "healthy." Citing all the financial turmoil in California, he said, "If someone's going to do some recalling, that should be the focus."
But Costa sounds certain such a recall would happen and agreed that it would be no problem at all for gay marriage opponents to quickly gather the signatures of 12 percent of the electorate to force a recall election targeting George, Kennard, Werdegar and Moreno. He said supporters of Prop. 8 such as the Knights of Columbus, the Mormon Church and other traditional religious groups all had "massive" resources to bring to bear.
He doesn't think the state Supreme Court will overturn Prop. 8. "I gotta believe they'll uphold the initiative process." But if the four justices do, Costa says expect an amazing spectacle.
I agree. I think literally hundreds of millions of dollars would be spent on the recall. Gay marriage opponents see Prop. 8 as akin to a last stand preventing a global movement toward acceptance of gay marriage and will go all out. Gay marriage supporters, for their part, will no longer accept incremental progress or "civil unions."
At least it would be good for the California economy.
Let them throw it out, and we cab start a massive recall effort to remove the judges and now the gaygreen Governator.
In just a week, many Californians and Americans are being subjected to Hate Crimes brought about by criminal gay deviates.
We dont march and threaten gays with axes, axe handles, ball bats and other weapons. As done by Hate Filled Gays in a church as shown in the picture linked below:

We can boycott the corporations funding the repeal of Prop 8.

Boycotts can work for our side too.
Arnold did roids when he was younger. I think they all did with the exception of Steve Reeves back in the early 1960s or late 1950s. Reeves probably was the perfect natural body builder. The later roid heads look like freaks.
Thank you for the corporate sponsor list site.
Coors Beer?— dang.
There’ll be no more Banquet Beer in my house.

As for that old lady , well she showed more courage and balls than half of the republican party elected officials
you go girl, I am so proud of you.
Costa also doesn't sound like he's too thrilled about such a recall, saying it wouldn't be "healthy."
Yes, Costa. Let's not let the anger of a few warped judges thwart the will of the people in a "healthy" democracy.
???????????????????????????????????????????
It would be risky to flaunt this notion of a recall BEFORE their decision. Once they decide, the ball is in our court.
You can edit Wikipedia, you know.
It’s not these guys overturning it, its the CONSTITUTION.
You cannot make exceptions just because you don’t agree with someone morally. and you CAN’T vote on civil rights, majority DOESN’T always rule, and you CAN’T allow on group of consenting adults to marry and deny another group of consenting adults. Civil unions are NOT good enough. PERIOD. That is why SEPARATE BUT EQUAL is UNCONSTITUTIONAL as well.
You are afforded the liberty to believe what you want, the Establishment Clause forbids the passing of laws based on religious beliefs.
It BETTER get overturned and everybody should be happy because if it’s not then this country is headed to a baaaad place and we may as well throw our constitution in the pooper.
And now a word from our California State Constitution:
PREAMBLE
We, the People of the State of California, grateful to Almighty God for our freedom, in order to secure and perpetuate its blessings, do establish this Constitution.
Did you just get off the boat yesterday? Or did you fail civics class? This is not about the things you suggest. Rights? This is about sex only. They want to have sex, and they want their sexual acts to be forced on the rest of the people. So, I exercised my right, as a US citizen, and voted. They want mob rule, by protests, threats, attacking churches, people, and destroying property. We call this civil disobedience. This is a constitutional amendment, and it passed.
It BETTER get overturned and everybody should be happy because if its not then this country is headed to a baaaad place and we may as well throw our constitution in the pooper.Do you have case law on your side?
I understood that.....but that’s exactly what he was doing.
How can a Constitutional Ammendment be Unconstitutional?
Only if the Left says so
