Comments on: California’s Proposition 22 struck down http://www.clarksvilleonline.com/2008/05/15/californias-proposition-22-struck-down/ The voice of Clarksville, Tennessee Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:33:04 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Fightingpreacher http://www.clarksvilleonline.com/2008/05/15/californias-proposition-22-struck-down/comment-page-1/#comment-7290 Fightingpreacher Fri, 16 May 2008 14:12:50 +0000 http://www.clarksvilleonline.com/?p=5123#comment-7290 The great thing about the Court not doing its constitutional duty is that now it will be forced to the Supreme Court and then the ruling will be final. It is amazing that overwhelmingly 80-90% of Americans dont want Same Sex marriage, yet activist and politicians refuse to hear the voice of the people that they are supposed to be representing.

The State of Califorina overwhelming voted that Marriage was between one man and one woman! They voted this by 61% in one of the most liberal states in America. The job of each of the Branches of our government as are follows. Judicial Branch is to interpret the Laws of the land not make law! Legislative Branch is to pass laws according to the will of people. Executive Branch is to enforce the laws of the Land. The people have spoken in that state and now activist Judges are overturning the will of the people. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

Today, in that spirit, yet one more barrier gave way when the California State Supreme Court ruled that all Californians – regardless of the traditional barrier of sexual orientation – have the right to marry. This is an historic moment – both for California and our country. From this moment forward, there can be no going back. The road ahead will be difficult. Despite today's historic ruling, the same groups that sponsored the 2000 California ballot measure that challenged marriage equality are getting closer to placing a measure on the November ballot that would write discrimination into our state Constitution. This effort would not only overturn laws granting the most basic rights to same-sex couples – it would effectively nullify today's Supreme Court ruling.
