-California Marriage Amendment to Stay on Ballot
by Dr. D ~ July 18th, 2008
The California Supreme Court is allowing a proposed constitutional marriage amendment to stay on the November ballot. Two months ago, the same court ruled that same-sex marriage should be allowed in California.
Opponents already had a marriage amendment qualified for the November ballot that would in essence reverse the court decision. the American Civil Liberties Union, Lambda Legal and other homosexual activist groups had petitioned that the court remove the marriage amendment from the ballot. The court decided on July 16 not to hear the case and let the initiative remain and go before the voters.
Response: This really is good news. For once, the court made a very good decision. Sweeping changes like this really should be decided by all of the voters and not just a few folks in black robes. If ‘gay marriage’ is really going to become a part of the California experience, let the voters have their say. *Top
