Prop 8: R.I.P.?

Prop 8: R.I.P.?

Notwithstanding an impassioned defense of the defenders of California’s Proposition 8 by the Family Research Institute, the plaintiffs are set to eventually win Perry vs Scharzenegger if not in federal district court in San Francisco then in the Supreme Court of the United States.

To get readers up to snuff on the trial in question, please see “The Gay Battle against the Will of the People,” Parts One and Two.

At issue is whether Prop 8, a part of California’s constitution since it was passed by voters on November 4th, 2008, is constitutional. More fundamental is the question of whether citizens of any state in the union are entitled to amend the document that defines the “nature, functions and limits” of a governing body.

In California they are so legally entitled and a majority of Californians decided that what constitutes a marriage in that state can be reduced to 14 words, “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”

Surprised that the measure had passed in one of the most liberal states in the nation, the gay lobby first demonstrated in protest then mobilized its formidable forces to attempt to get a court to override the will of the people, alleging that the people had unfairly infringed on homosexual rights.

David Boie, co-principal counsel for the homosexual plaintiffs with Ted Olson, has linked that infringement to the Catholic Church specifically and generally to Christianity which made this just-concluded trial one in which basic precepts of Christianity are called into question: http://bit.ly/9eT4F7 . . .
