The "will of the people" is absolutely meaningless in California, and it's a Democrat dream-come-true.

Proposition 8, overwhelmingly supported and passed by the California citizenry, will ultimately end up on the same trash heap as Proposition 187, which was supported and passed overwhelmingly by the California citizenry in 1994. Only those propositions that meet with the approval of those paragons of political correctness, "the Democrats", have a chance of getting enacted. That's just the way it is in California.

Buh-bye, California.

We don’t live by will of the sheeple in a representative Republic. If Cali voted to ban all firearms, or shut down all religious institutions, should the mobocratic will of the people stand?

That’s the part that irritates me, the fact that courts can rule and essentially make laws where we could have an organized system of coming into this country, registering with the authorities that you wish to be a contributing citizen, and so on. It’s almost like a university, if all I had to do was walk into a university classroom, pass off as a student, and get a free grade, the university would pretty much hit the trash heap fast. What makes us think that being part of a larger group doesn’t help with the United States as well.

“Proposition 8, overwhelmingly supported and passed by the California citizenry...”

Prop. 8 passed by 52% in 2008. The homosexualists will quit screaming about their “civil rights” being infringed by the majority the second they think they have the numbers to repeal prop. 8 through another popular vote. Of course that is if our black robed masters just don’t cut out the middle man.
