The Left is so disappointed tonight. They wanted it gone! So much for all those loud street protests to get Proposition 8 tossed out!

The refusal to issue a stay is an ominous sign for the gays marching through the streets.

[Dilbert San Diego]

maybe these judges want everyone to cool off, so they decided not to rule right away.

Maybe, just maybe, these judges, even though they imposed homosexual marriage, actually have some respect left for the rule of law, and legal processes. if they were hell bent on imposing homosexual marriage no matter what, they could easily have come out and said that it was an illegal proposition the morning after.

The results of their further review will tell us what we need to know about their procedures.

This is facetious.

The California constitution provides for ammendment by initiative. There is no reason for the court to hear anything.

[gidget7]

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't what they are asking the court to decide, the same thing they asked the court before it went to a vote, and somebody out there changed the language to try to keep it from getting passed? Didn't the court say it was constitutional to go ahead for a vote?

How can a constitutional amendment be unconstitutional? It’s part of the constitution!!

[Hi Heels]

This is BULL. We voted on it TWICE. The people just have absolutely no power at all any more. This is just plain ridiculous.

Ping.

Surprise! Surprise! Queers going through the back door to get their desires met!

Is it not supposed to work like this? 1) Someone brings a suit and it is decided on fact. 2) The appellate court may then judge the application of law, but not determine fact. 3) Then, the supreme court may review and again judge the application of law, perhaps addressing conflicts between laws. Where is this now? I think step 1 hasn’t occurred.

Marxists/socialists/Democrats/”news”persons just hate that will-of-the-people vote thingie, don’t they?

[TBP]

the California Supreme Court said Wednesday that it would take up the case of whether a voter-approved ban on same-sex unions was constitutional.

Hello? Isn't it a Constitutional amendment? How cna an amendment to teh Constitution be unconstitutional? Aside from the merits of the specific issue, does anyone see the dangerous precedent there? If we can just start declarign parts of the Constitution unconstitutional, then there go the last remaining rights that we have -- much to the glee of BO and his SS Corps.

I can’t tell what ground they would have to decide against Prop8? I thought legal clarity was decided before the election.
