The California Supreme Court has defeated the will of the citizens of the Golden State by ruling that the proposition-approved law stating that marriage is defined as a bond between one man and one woman is unconstitutional.
An effort is under way to amend the state constitution to re-instate the law approved by a majority of California voters banning same sex marriages.

Radio reports that dissenting justice wrote that the majority engaged in “legal jujitsu” in order to justify their predetermined conclusion.
What was it that I said about Chief Jusitce Holmes a minute ago . . . .?

Indeed. No matter one’s position with regard to gay rights or marriage, this decision was no more than judicial activism.

As I have mentioned in earlier posts, I support civil laws that allow for equal rights to homosexuals. Yet the State of California already provided for all legal entitlements for same-sex partners. What exactly was unconstitutional about the law?
