Prop 8 goes to Court

Prop 8 discussed in terms of "is." Thank you Ken Starr

Proposition 8, the most watched ballot initiative in the 2008 presidential election, has come to a 90 day hiatus as the California Supreme Court discusses the legality of its original placement on the November ballot in the first place. Here's the deal, and I hope the California Supreme Court is listening very close right now, this is a slam dunk for you!

Proposition 8 should not have been placed on the ballot without being approved first by the state legislature at a 2/3 aye vote

Here's How I know that:
Two years ago, the Supreme Court issued a stop order on Gay Marriages coming out of San Francisco saying they were not legal.
A year ago, the Supreme Court ruled that not allowing Gay Marriage was unconstitutional and struck down your previous hold on San Francisico Marriage Licenses for Gays. Thereby saying that Gays have the right to marry.
Then, an interest group put a ballot measure up that would limit the rights (rights that you had secured in your previous ruling) of Gays to get married. Here's the tricky part. That would substantially change the California Constitution as you are limiting the rights of a group of people.

Therefore, regardless of what you think about the rights of gays to get married, the political process, the will of the people, or whatever - You have to, because of your previous ruling and the posting of this ballot measure, rule it illegally placed on the ballot and strike it down.

On a side note: California State Legislature, you need to find someway to get a civil unions bill out to the Governor that he can sign so this whole thing can be done with. Or you can expect another Prop 8 in 2010, and it will take far less voters next time to win.

So the Opinion:
1. Strike down Prop 8
2. Enact Civil Unions Bill
3. Enjoy the stability in your state economy due to shared partnerships
