The Prop 8 fight ain’t over yet!
Yet another LA Times article, this one is about Prop 8. The discussions are here.
It looks like it isn’t over yet. But the court is correct, it is about the initiative process and Prop 8 is a California Constitutional Amendment. This is serious stuff! However, I am confident that it will be overturned on US First Amendment grounds.
- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Since the arguments for Prop 8 are solely religious in origin, prop 8 is clearly "respecting an establishment of religion" and prohibits "the free exercise thereof".
