Gay Marriage Ban Overturned
California's top court overturns gay marriage ban
"SAN FRANCISCO - In a monumental victory for the gay rights movement, the California Supreme Court overturned a voter-approved ban on gay marriage Thursday in a ruling that would allow same-sex couples in the nation's biggest state to tie the knot. "
" Jeanie Rizzo, one of the plaintiffs, called Pali Cooper, her partner of 19 years, and asked, "Pali, will you marry me?" "

We need to hang these judges and put new ones in. I am so tired of them overturning what we voted for democratically

Re: Gay Marriage Ban Overturned
This is an interesting case because California already gave them all the rights of a marriage under same-sex unions. It makes me wonder if they are not trying to use the word "marriage" so that they can force other states, that would never allow same-sex marriage or civil unions, to accept them under the full faith and credit clause.

Re: Gay Marriage Ban Overturned
I love this line from the dissent...
"I cannot join this exercise in legal jujitsu, by which the Legislature’s own
weight is used against it to create a constitutional right from whole cloth, defeat
the People’s will, and invalidate a statute otherwise immune from legislative
interference."
