It's not the first time the will of the people (the vote) was ignored. The airport at El Toro was voted on by the people......it won, but the powers said, no we don't want that.
I'm saying, whatever I vote yes for gets switched to no....so what's the point?WHat about the "will" of the people in good ol alabama, mississippi, etc in the 50s and 60s?? Fact is black people were denied equality in certain states. That is what the courts are for: to decide what laws are constitutional!! Referendums are fine to move things but not when it comes to denying people justice and equality. So you are comparing an airport with the right of a couple to get married??? Are you serious??
It makes no sense to wonder why the judges waited until after the referendum. Before the referendum, there was nothing to rule on. Only after the referendum could the courts decide that the referendum (whch had the force of law)infringed upon the rights of the homosexual community.It amazes me that this occurs.
Guess I am just not smart enough to understand. A referendum is put up. People vote, and Judges rule it wrong
after the vote? Would they rule that way if it went their way?
Why did they not rule on the referendum before the vote? Or is the State Attorney General
useless in his or her advice? Not just California, but this has recently occured in other states. Texas and Oklahoma
are examples.
Why can't "marriage" of all types be left to strictly religious ceremonies and recognition?I'm saying, whatever I vote yes for gets switched to no....so what's the point?
We've been over this road before. I think same sex couples should have every right that I have with my husband.....just don't call it marriage. Call it fusion, or anything else. So go get angry about something else.

Equality before the law. Nothing more . Nothing less.

I don't know, I see people and governments bending over backwards to please Muslims........................and Christians get the shaft.Exceptions to the rule. In general (note the general part), you're less equal in this country if you are of color and/or non-Christian.
weird. I'm a Christian and don't feel at all infringed upon. I had more to say on this, but it wreaked of self-serving hubris.I don't know, I see people and governments bending over backwards to please Muslims........................and Christians get the shaft.
Well I'm Catholic and I see that gov't arm coming through the stained glass window and dictating what we must do.......That gov't arm cannot reach into Church or Temple and order them around.weird.
