California can do much better than this. I hope and pray that this is nullified invalid. I'm pretty sure that we'll get our answers come June.

Precedence is being set state by state by state. Iowa's supreme court just ruled in favor of same sex marriage. Massachusetts and also Connecticut. These states are setting powerful precedent. Vermont, who's legislature overturned through majority vote the Republican Governor's veto against same sex marriage. Same sex marriage is now legal in Vermont as well. Vermont's legislatures said "Vermont is not like California who willy nilly changes their constitution and govern's by referendum."

California has a bad rep re: their constitution and how easy it is to pass amendments - by simple majority. LOL

". . .govern by referendum."

That's because we live in a constitutional republic not a democracy. California has been pushing for something close to democracy and it is causing chaos.

jfsfrnd Our Founders knew that the will of the majority was not always for good and that is why they placed checks and balances into the constitution. The old New England state constitutions carry that spirit within them. Representative Democracies are what we are talking about. If you have a pure democracy you have the danger of the tyranny and the chaos of the majority unless there is a check to that danger and that check has to be written into the constitution and interpreted by the courts

You are preaching to the choir. Tell that to the Religious Right and their Christian sheep who voted for Prop 8. They believe they can overturn a Calif SC decision with an amendment by simple majority. They believe the "will of the people" will take precedence over a SC decision. It has been said that Justice Kennard will be the deciding vote. Who knows - she may give them what they want to teach them a lesson. I hope she doesn't. The will be chaos if she does.

jfsfrnd I'm with you on all of this. California is like a different nation in some ways. The Governator even thinks so. ;)

Do you have an opinion on how the SC is going to rule on Prop 8?

Did "the people" have confidence about how interracial marriage would affect society during the era of Perez v. Sharp and Loving v. Virginia?

Until there is a "gay test" there will be no factual scientific evidence. Both sides make claims that are not entirely factual. Some people have a choice and some don't. The only way to know if someone is gay is by "self reporting".

The SC made a decision in May 2008. Who is supposed to interpret what the constitution says - the SC or the people"?
