Poll Finds Californians Still Oppose Gay Marriage
NYT
SAN FRANCISCO — More than half of Californians support a proposed ballot measure that would overturn a recent ruling that legalized same-sex marriage in the state, a poll has found.
Fifty-four percent of registered voters would back the measure, according to the survey by The Los Angeles Times and KTLA-TV. Thirty-five percent oppose the proposed measure, which is expected to be on the November ballot.
The measure, sponsored by a coalition of groups that favor traditional marriage, would define marriage as “between a man and a woman,” and effectively overturn a May 15 decision by the California Supreme Court that voided two state laws that forbade recognition of same-sex marriages. The poll, published on Friday, found 52 percent disagreed with that decision while 41 percent agreed.

Pisses me off that members of the CA Supreme Court think they know better than at least 54% of the citizens. When that measure hits, we will stomp their decision into the dirt, hopefully for the last time.

May 23rd, 2008 at 8:59 pmThe courts could care less about the American people’s will. They rule as an oligarchy over America. The courts have overstepped their constitutional authority for 50 years because they have no oversight.
I wonder what would happen if an American POTUS came to DC with a constitutional understanding of how the courts are suppose to operate. It would be the most dangerous thing to happen to court-imposed fiefdoms since the Revolution.

Sucks that you have to go to the ballot and remove a bullet just to have the 9th put it back in when you are locked in a match of Russian Roulette with Mr. Richter.
