“Does Connecticut have voter override for this?”
Nope. Never will have, either.
On November 4th, Connecticut voters had a very important ballot issue before them. That was, should the state convene a Constitutional convention?
The proponents of this ballot issue believe that one of the results of a convention would be the introduction of statewide ballot “initiatives” in Connecticut, just as many of the western states have.
I believe it would have also dealt with the gay-marriage issue.
Guess what? The convention ballot issue LOST. Connecticut voters voted AGAINST giving themselves the direct power to reverse bad decisions by the legislature and the courts.
In this state, the people get what they deserve (I live in CT). Just like Massachusetts, where voters given the extraordinary opportunity to reduce their taxes, voted to keep taxing themselves.
Things are never going to change here. Wait, let me rephrase that: things will change here - but only for the worse.

I didn't check to see if others did so, but the weather is a lot better down here in NC, and it is significantly, if not sufficiently, more conservative a place to live. Taxes are better, though still high, and a lot of people here do not cotton to Yankee tyranny.
And never did.
I agree, Fishrrman. I am outraged by this disgusting court order. And We the People of Connecticut have NO CHOICE in the matter... these activist judges can do whatever they want. It's just stunning.
I am so saddened at what's happening to the once lovely state of Connecticut. As soon as we are able (not anytime soon, unfortunately), my husband and I will be moving elsewhere, preferably to a Red State. This gay marriage law is yet another nail in the Connecticut coffin for us.
