Andrew Pugno is toast in California Politics.

@RichardDuryea the constitution has been amended over the years to add clauses into the document. Homosexuality is a protected claus of equality in the amendment.

USA is about FREEDOM and Justice for ALL! Not just right wing Christians ,and narrow minded fear mongers. Read the Constitution !

This is not about marriage equality. Most people who support that notion actually do not support marriages with multiple spouses (like polygamy), and consenting adult brother/sister marriages. So much for "equality for all"!

I'd like to see "Protect Marriage" actually do anything to protect marriage.

I love how Pugno brings up Federal cases ruled at a time when judges openly referred to gays as "fags."

And Coretta Scott King was FOR marriage equality for gays. I think she knows a little about the civil rights movement.

Here is the other question. Gavin Newsome was recently talking with some very unhappy citizens of Bell California and telling them he plans to clean up all cities in CA with similar problems. What exactly was Jerry doing all of these years when he should have been paying attention to this kind of fraud and abuse of power?

[RichardDuryea]

the 14th amendment was created to allow people from another 'Race' life liberty and property back in 1868 (right after the end of the civil war). So that former slaves could have right that could not be taken away without due process of law nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Since when did homosexuality become a race?

Because that is how it is being played.

@memtroita9139 I understand your frustration. Politicians are like ice cream: They come in all colors and flavors. They are oh so sweet during an election, but after the vote their promises just melt away.

This is a Republic not a Democracy. The fact that a majority believe, or agree on something does not make it right. No one has the right to infringe upon the liberties of others. Same sex marriage does not infringe upon the liberties of anyone else. What if the argument was changed, so that based on a particular religion same sex marriage was acceptable. For example, "same sex marriage is part of my faith". Now what? It is all about personal liberties, not a particular believe system.

@memtroita9139 Why is Jerry Brown trash? Because he is trying to do what is right by The U.S. Constitution. He tried to make Oakland nicer, so he is trash? What would someone have to do to get your approval?
