Prop 8


I believe there will be a chance for hope. I don't think we are done. There are a lot of factors we have to believe in.

For example, under CA law that alterations of fundamental rights cannot to done with a mere amendment via majority vote of the electorate. This would constitute a "revision" of the Cali-cal Constitution would requires 2/3 vote of both Houses of Legislature AND a 2/3 vote by the electorate or alternatively a State Constitutional Convention called by 2/3 vote of both houses.

It could possibly fail there.

Or Prop. 8 could be considered unconstitutional, like the interracial marriage issue was back in the day. Remember Obama's Surpreme CT picks could take it out like an assassin.

I still have hope that it will fail. I have to believe that once the dust settles, Prop 8 will be a distant memory and we will have the most basic right in our society.
