With liberty and justice for ALL?

3.05.2009

As I write, the California Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments on Prop 8. There are three areas that are to be covered: (1) Is Proposition 8 invalid because it constitutes a revision of, rather than an amendment to, the California Constitution? (2) Does Proposition 8 violate the separation of powers doctrine under the California Constitution? (3) If Proposition 8 is not unconstitutional, what is its effect, if any, on the marriages of same-sex couples performed before the adoption of Proposition 8?

I'm listening to the arguments and sending out hope. There is no doubt in my mind that this is all far from over. Regardless of the ruling, I'm sure the opposite side will try, try again.

So I hope. Not necessarily for marriage (I think that's a personal choice whether you're gay, straight, or other), but for equality for ALL.

Wondering how the hell they were able to get the amendment on the ballot to begin with and praying to god (not the one who supposedly hates gay people) the court stands behind the decision they handed down in the first place, to make marriage legal for ALL!

Curious?

If you picture everything the Catholics say you should be, and then reverse damn near all of it, you'll have a good idea what I'm all about.

I can be loving and a pain in the ass, all in the same breath (it's my special talent). I have strong opinions, but am willing to listen to others. If you want to discuss politics or religion, finance or pop culture, .
