I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
GODDAMNIT.
I'm so relieved for the protection for everyone who got married last year, but GODDAMNIT. (And I'm so deeply glad I'm not at work today; there's been occasional bristly unpleasantness, and right now I know I've got one co-worker quietly heartsore and one quietly content and triumphant, and I don't think my post-flu stomach could tolerate it).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh.

Legally, I'm not sure what they could do really. It's the majority of voters that fucked it up.

Trust my rage
I don't know - it seems like they could have said, regardless of the majority, fundamental rights are protected and can't be voted away. I don't know - I'm unfamiliar with the case, so I'm just guessing.

Well, then it shouldn't have been on the ballot in the first place. But, admittedly, I don't know the process for that. Do other Californians who have been here longer know if there was a challenge pre-ballot? I assumed there was.

It seems to me that the whole CA proposition system shows why representative democracy is better than straight-up democracy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
A challenge to the prop before the election might have been dismissed because of concerns for ripeness -- it's a complicated doctrine but generally courts can decline to hear cases where the claimed harm has not yet and may never come to pass.

And in terms of ruling on principle. Aside from whatever legal doctrines may come into play, California has a provision where judges have to be confirmed by being reelected occasionally. The possibility of being Elizabeth Rose Birded has to cross their minds when making rulings.
