What a surprise. California Attorney General Jerry Brown believes Proposition 8 is invalid. Brown called on the California Supreme Court to reject the initiative.
“Proposition 8 must be invalidated because the amendment process cannot be used to extinguish fundamental constitutional rights without compelling justification.”
Great! The state’s highest attorney stepped up to the plate and bravely spoke out against this proposition. But, of course, not without some upsetting news. Supporters of the same-sex marriage ban now want to nullify the thousands of marriages that were granted, after the state Supreme Court ruled it was a constitutional right. Proposition 8 supporters responded to the three lawsuits filed against Proposition 8. And I thought voting to protect the rights of a minority was wrong and unfair. To go beyond that and nullify those marriages is just horrible, mean-spirited, and upsetting. That is just sad to hear.
Ain’t this fun? We get Ken Starr back to attack gay marriage, and Jerry Brown begins trying to overturn prop 8, in a suprise move. Political junkies unite.
*ahem* If all goes well, then we should be seeing gay marriage legalized here in Cali. The State Supreme Court overturned the ban once, they should do so again
