If the people pass a law by a majority vote, what gives the court the right to overturn it?
Prop 8
11-19) 18:32 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- The state Supreme Court plunged back into the same-sex marriage wars Wednesday, agreeing to decide the legality of a ballot measure that repealed the right of gay and lesbian couples to wed in California
Six months after its momentous ruling that struck down the states ban on same-sex marriage, the court granted requests by both sponsors and opponents of Proposition 8 to review lawsuits challenging the Nov. 4 initiative.
The vote was 6-1, Justice Joyce Kennard dissenting.
However, the court refused, 6-1, to let same-sex marriages resume while it considers Prop. 8s constitutionality. Justice Carlos Moreno cast the dissenting vote.
Approved by 52 percent of voters, Prop. 8 restored the definition of marriage - a union of a man and a woman - that the court had overturned May 15. Kennard and Moreno voted with the majority in that 4-3 ruling.
The court agreed Wednesday to review two arguments by opponents of Prop. 8: that the measure exceeds the legal scope of a ballot initiative by allowing a majority to restrict a minority groups rights, and that it violates the constitutional separation of powers by limiting judicial authority.
The justices also asked for arguments on whether Prop. 8, if constitutional, would nullify 18,000 same-sex weddings performed between when the courts marriage ruling took effect in mid-June and Nov. 4. Attorney General Jerry Brown, who will defend Prop. 8 as the states chief lawyer, contends those marriages are legal, but sponsors of the initiative disagree.
The justices asked for written arguments to be submitted through Jan. 21. The court could hold a hearing as early as March, and a ruling would be due 90 days later.
This is what a democracy is. Two wolves and a sheep deciding what they want to eat for dinner.
oh and wire taps are. torture is, pre emptive war. govt bail outs. Federal reserve. income tax. is all against the constitution

Answer: Because in my opinion it's unconstitutional for a bigoted majority to vote away rights of a minority they don't like or respect.
How about if the state of Alabama decided to vote and say that only people of the most popular church could own property. I guess the Baptists would win and the Jews, Catholics, Episcopalians, etc. would be S.O.L.
Our constitution is supposed to protect from "tyranny of the majority" in cases that deal with a minority's rights.

Share your thoughts: Should gay marriages be allowed to resume in California right NOW?
Prop 8 was ruled unconstitutional by the District Court................
and is now being appealed to the 9th circuit.
In the mean time: Should gay weddings resume? (while the initial ruling is still being appealed?)
It appears the District Judge cleared the way for gay weddings to resume beginning Wednesday, August 18th.............unless either the 9th circuit or the Supreme Court intervenes by granting an additional stay.

Im a supporter of gay marriage,
but I have mixed feelings on resuming gay weddings right now, while the case is still being appealed.
Heres my fear:
-legalizing gay marriage in CA immediately could discourage efforts to put a repeal of prop 8 on the ballot in 2012.
(settling this issue at the ballot box would be much more preferable to settling this in federal court.)
-If the District Judge doesnt put a stay on the ruling........someone else will.
and the last thing we want to do is piss off the Supreme Court.
Share your thoughts.
