Henry Huang explores the arguments for both sides of Proposition 8. Guests are Katy Lee, supporter of Prop. 8 and Karin Wang from AsianPacific American Legal Center.
Voting is just a system tool. Congress passed allowing president use war on terrorists, then elected a president extremely late ordering retreat all troops. We need a more immediate system on Internet and it needs to be a secure democratic system for improvement. It may need rotating staff analysts for reporting data or open up for more input data and opinions. Community mail threading and on-line score board for casting and switching votes to build into campaigning system. Too limited now!
Can't stand when people use the vote of 2000 (prop 22) as the base of what is right and what is wrong. Hello??? It's wrong, that's why the judge over turn it. The big question is how could the same issue be put up to vote again when the judge already ruled that it is unconstitutional to take away other's civil rights. Obviously, the gays are the minority, so the popular vote is against them already. That is why the constitution is here to protect all people.
This subject is so personal it shouldn't even be on the ballot. It's like having a ballot measure asking people to vote if Asian-Americans should have the right to mix with other American races. It's offensive and it's surreal. I can't believe there are people who are defending this proposition. They have no logic arguments.
While I commend Katie for pursuing her American Dream via the path of a realtor and for exercising her right to voice her opinion on Prop 8, I hope she understands that it wan't too long ago Asians Americans were not part of "traditional" marriage in California and Asian Americans were not welcomed in "traditional" areas of Los Angeles including Walnut, outside of Chinatown. Furthermore, "activist" judges were far more accepting of Asian Americans before the majority of the Californians.

Lame comments from Karen...I love the stereotype she stated, "we're Asians, we're suppose to be good with numbers."
It was a small percentage of the Californian population. You're kidding me. It didn't count because it was a smaller amount of voters at the poll.
LAME! you're a joke Karen...
"I'm a lawyer" Star Jones said the same thing.
Great Job Katie in teaching the Lawyer about law. She can't even do smoke and mirrors right.
