[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 345127, member: 9789"] 2 points I would like to make about your comments... The Supreme Court is duty bound to uphold the constitution. They interpret and rule on what the intent is. Their job is not to interpret the constitution based on popular thought or what the majority of voters think it should be. It is not an accurate science and the constitution is not a perfect document! When the will of the people seem to be in jeopardy than the course of action should be to take steps to amend the constitution to reflect what the will of the people determine. As for your other comment tainting the reputation of this judge because he does not agree with you on this issue is in very poor taste. Unless you can prove that this judge accepts "pay offs" from activists, then the comments you made are a personal attack against this individual and are offensive. Dannyboy, you are better than that. I can tell you that if the will of the majority decides to amend the constitution to make marriage just between a man and a woman than I will respect that decision. I don't agree with it and certainly feel it will be a setback in our evolution as a species. I am also very optimistic that most Californians do not have this issue stuck in their gut and will let it pass without overturning the decision through the legislative process. Only time will tell on this one! :its_all_good: [/QUOTE]
