So, the Proposition 8 debate is back in court and is back in the California Supreme court. That really scares me because it only took four judges last year to over turn the will of the people. But lo and behold! Apparently the justices are listening this time! Here's an excerpt from an article I read on MSN:
"If Proposition 8 is upheld, opponents said, then voters could end mixed-race marriages, too.
But the justices were clearly skeptical of that argument, noting that the state supreme court has never found that such a limit applies to constitutional amendments adopted through the ballot box.
"What I'm picking up from the oral argument in this case is this court should willy-nilly disregard the will of the people," said Justice Joyce Kennard."
Yes, that's what they did last year - disregard the will of the people. Hopefully they've learned their lesson and won't ignore the majority again. Setting aside all the moral questions, that's what irritated me the most about this entire thing.
