it should bother you


Whether you are for Prop8 or against it, this should bother you.
The California Supreme Court has decided in a 6 to 1 ruling to review the legal issues.
The quote that infuriates me is

All three cases claim the measure abridges the civil rights of a vulnerable minority group. They argue that voters alone did not have the authority to enact such a significant constitutional change.


What? Say that again? The VOTERS do not have the authority?!!!!! Some one please get me the duct tape, my head is going to explode.

The PEOPLE ARE THE AUTHORITY!

Here is some thing else that struck me

Federal courts overturned another contentious initiative, Proposition 187, the anti-immigration measure passed by voters. Unlike state judges, federal judges have lifetime tenure and do not face voters.



So these life timers that answer to NO ONE can take the will of the people throw it to the wind.... to do as they seem fit?

Oh and this is classic.

Schwarzenegger has said he expected the court to overturn the proposition and indicated that he favored that outcome.

Wow.
Were is our power going?

If you are interested here is a list of all those who actually contributed to Prop 8. It was set up by those opponents of Prop 8 is called the "dishonor roll"

If you notice there is not ONE line that says
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints..... so the envelopes filled with white powder to our holy places and our children can and must stop. It is an act of terrorism, but I doubt no one will be charged. Imagine the uproar if this happened to black churches. It is PEOPLE that contributed to that they believed in.

Do I have to remind you The Founding Document say
WE THE PEOPLE
WE THE PEOPLE
PEOPLE not puffed up judges


To summarize A quote a famous Pageant on a Hill near by, preformed every summer.
King Noah
By what authority do you have to speak. In my kingdom only me and my priest have the authority to speak....
