If they apply the law, there is no way they can overturn Prop. 8, even though they voted for homosexual marriage. The legal issue before the court is different. The legal issue is: does Prop. 8 constitute a revision of the constitution, or is it just an amendment? If it’s a revision, legally speaking, then it could be in conflict with the rest of the constitution, and the legislature would have to start that type of process. Which the Dem. legislature would never do.

If they apply the law, this is a no brainer. If they use political correctness as the guide to what the law should be, then they would overthrow Prop. 8.

WTH?

This makes no sense.
