Starr is one of the best lawyers in the country. This joke they have up against him wouldn’t stand a chance in a federal court (possibly excluding the 9th Circuit), though you never know with the California Supreme Court.

I read the SacBee's article and here is what I gleaned from it:

Californians are not allowed to amend their Constitution if it takes away an "inalienable" right (which thought, by itself, is completely correct!). So if the CSC decides homos have an "inalienable" right to marry each other, then the Prop 8 amendment is unconstitutional, and invalid.
Of course, the fact that it completely alters the many thousands of years of Stare Decisis that viewed marriage as between a man and a woman means nothing to these people. It's time to fix what ain't broke!

This is how they do it, folks. This is how they use legalistic maneuverings to get what they want shoved down our backs.
Push is coming to shove. Very soon!

attorneys in the California Supreme Court case that will decide the fate of same-sex marriage in the state

I wonder if it'd have gotten this far were it called homo marriage, rather than 'same-sex'? And is this really an 'issue' we should be spending so much time (and money) on?

Minter, legal director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights in San Francisco, is a transsexual who spent his first 35 years as a female. He was a lead counsel in the state Supreme Court case decided last May that allowed same-sex couples to marry, a ruling that was reversed in November when voters approved Proposition 8.
