I am angry about what the Prop 8 decision does to our California sate initiative process. The people of the state voted for an issue and if the governor personally doesn’t like the issue or belongs to the party on the other side of the issue, all he has to do is refuse to defend it in court and his side wins.
Same thing happened to Prop 187, didn’t it?. If i recall correctly, by the time that went to court, a governor that was on the other side of the issue was in office. A court ruled against 187, the governor refused to appeal the issue and it stopped right there.
Why bother voting or even creating an initiative in this state if the issue is one with which the left disagrees?
Seems to me that if the people of a state vote for an issue, the state has an obligation to defend that decision,, and it ought to be added to each states laws
