The California Supreme Court rules to UPHOLD Proposition 8 (which put into the California state constitution that marriage is defined as being between a man and woman)
The court also ruled on the validation of the pseudo-marriages performed before passage of Prop 8.
The DUmmies heads must be exploding about now.
Having determined that none of the constitutional challenges to the adoption of Proposition 8 have merit, we observe that if there is to be a change to the state constitutional rule embodied in that measure, it must “find its expression at the ballot box.” (In re Marriage Cases, supra, 43 Cal.4th 757, 884 (conc. & dis. opn. of Corrigan, J.); see also id. at pp. 861, 878 (conc. & dis. opn. of Baxter, J.).)
5-2 ruling
chalk one up for the peoples vote
“Homosexuals’ “marriages” are bogus.”
Or same sex marriage is bogus, opposite sex marriage rules.
Yea and no...if you stole something before it was illegal to steal, then legally you should get to keep it. Of course it was only legal because the courts in the first place.
You’re exactly right, unfortunately our “leadership” in the Republican party never seems to learn. They keep taking the “dialogue” bait the left holds out, every time. Like Hussein at Notre Dame. They want to “talk”, and compromise, until they get the whole enchilada. Then they show their true arrogant uncompromising selves. Hussein just said “I won”, and still dumazzes supposedly on the right think they can “dialogue” with him.
Any details on break down or gay reaction on the ground?
... this sounds strangely familiar. Hope liberals enjoy the shoe being on the other foot.
I cannot wait for the articulate response from Perez Hilton/s
But these weren't common law marriages, they were, ahem, legal
Victory!! The beginning of our taking back the country.
I really think they deliberately upheld the existing “marriages” to give the queers something on which to base “precedence” when they contest this further.
They’re marching on the streets of San Francisco (surprise, surprise)
Not bad...overall.I guess members of the CA Supreme Court didn’t want to be recalled.Now if only the voters of Massachusetts would be allowed to decide the issue.The pervert lobby here...both inside and outside the state legislature...knows that every statewide poll shows that pervert “marriage” would lose...convincingly...so they’ve successfully fought against it even appearing on the ballot.
“I cannot wait for the articulate response from Perez Hilton/s”
Maybe it will become a suicide bomber.
keeping in mind the court legislated the 18,000 marriages by overturning the will of the people the first time.
While what they did is analogous to outlawing common law marraige with existing marriages, it is not correct to apply that since they are two totally different issues.
The court was telegraphing that this has to be at the ballot box again. IOW those 18,000 marriages will have to be eliminated by popular vote. (or if stats hold true, within 24 months 75% of those relationships will be over)
I’m in LA, and the gays who are on another blog that I read say that they are “devasted”...
Plus seeing a bunch of homo's rioting in the streets is just toooo damn fugly
Wow. Marriage in CA should be between a man and a woman.
What is this world coming to.
