CT did not, and is denying constitutional rights of it's residents!

Do residents on CT have a constitutional right to vote on all legislation? If not, how are they being denied their constitutional rights?

Here in NC we do not have the right to public referendums. We get to vote on very few things outside of elections. We get to vote on Constitutional amendments, bonds (though that was actually just removed by a vote of the people!), and something else that is slipping my mind.

That's just it, this is amending the constitution, without benefit of an amendment. CT Constitution is clear on marriage. Without an amendment, which is to be voted on by the people, this law is unconstitutional.

I was born and raised in CT, have only lived outside CT a year or so. It appears Rell is no better than Rowland was, but I am not that surprised.
