California Supreme Court Overturns State's Ban on Same Sex Marriage

 


GenghisTheHun

I always swore that psychics did not exist, but now I am proven wrong. This band of clairvoyant California jurists was able to look deep into the recesses of those poor mopes who hammered together the Constitution of California in 1850, and say, "You know, by golly, those pioneers really wanted couples who use their lower digestive tract as a sex organ to get married. We just sluethed it out in that august document."

Hilarious. This is the exact opposite of democracy at work. No wonder the court system is held in such low esteem!

And, just for giggles, isn't automatt a little over the line there? Not a personal attack? Funny, I'll grant you. But, not a personal atack?

mag's point should be answered. Sure there are inappropriate codicils and inclusions in constitutions. There is also a method to correct them inherent in the document called the Amendment Process. It doesn't include the paragraph, 'or, failing the ability to convince a majority of the governed to the righteousness of your cause, simply appoint a majority of egg-headed, wing-nut liberal judges and let them make everything all better. " I don't think they thought that would be alright.

You seem really hung up on the anal sex thing. Half of your reviews seem to mention it lately. Why is that? Doesn't apply to lesbians BTW. Also, I am guessing you've never put it in her pooper.

It's amazing how this issue gets people so pissed off, even level headed folks like you. I'm just saying that there's plenty of stuff that was written in 1850 that makes no sense for today's society. And yes, I think it's appropriate for the courts to get involved when tax paying Americans aren't getting equal protection under the law.

It had nothing to say about homosexuals, did it? The other parts were solved by DEMOCRATIC amendments to the constitution. The supreme court did not find some hidden meaning. Stick to the subject at hand. Veering off to irrelevant subjects doesn't work with thinking people.

The original Oregon constitution, written in 1857, had this to say: ""No Negro, Chinaman or Mulatto shall have the right of suffrage." Surely they knew better than us, right?
