Everytime the voters in CA pass a prop - the ACLU takes it to court the next day and it ends up being overturned.

The liberals are gonna get to the right to gay marriage, even if they have to trample the Constitution and the American people along the way. Why go through all that inconvenient “voting” nonsense or listen to that nonsense about the “legislature making the laws” when they can just go through the courts and leave it up to someone who was never elected and can make any decision he wants? They obviously know what’s best for us. Who needs democracy anyway?

I could see this lawsuit coming. Why vote on such proposals if they are going to be blocked by some liberal judge?

...this really isn’t about marriage....it’s about homos thinking they can make us approve of them.
To: SmithL
The NO side has no respect for the democratic process or for the will of the majority of Californians who have spoken on the issue and affirmed marriage means a union of a man and a woman.

The measure takes effect immediately. I don't see how the California Supreme Court can invalidate a constitutional amendment. Similar amendments have been adopted in 29 other states.

taking important rights away from a minority group Logic-chopping rubbish. Homosexuals have exactly the same marriage rights as anybody else. Any male homosexual can marry any female homosexual. What they want is SPECIAL RIGHTS for their minority, and only their minority.
But in fact "gay marriage" is all about destroying civilization, nothing less.

What's fascinating about this is the Queerly Beloved, as one of their arguments, said if Prop. 8 passed there would soon be a follow-up to ban interracial marriage.
.....and California blacks voted 70 percent FOR it.

But in fact "gay marriage" is all about destroying civilization, nothing less. Right square on the head. Everything the left does has the result and the intent of destroying the traditional family.

It just looks like the only way to shut the ACLU and its fellow travelers up is to add a Marriage Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That Proposition 8 passed fair and square through the democratic process means nothing to them.

It’s not about marriage... it’s about teaching homosexuality in schools and it’s also about ADOPTION.

Yep. Black people rejected the invidious and offensive comparison. Two gays can get married - as long they are of the opposite sex, like any one else. There is no discrimination here.

As usual they will stall and wait for a sympathetic Court. Or, as with “English Only”...refuse to abide.
