Re: California overturns ban on same-sex marriage
 
The California Supreme Court is set to review prop 8 next March.

Opponents of the proposition are saying that "the measure was actually a constitutional revision, instead of a more limited amendment. A revision of the state Constitution can be placed before the voters only by a two-thirds vote of the Legislature or a constitutional convention".

Supporters are saying that "it merely amended the constitution by restoring a traditional definition of marriage", and that they'll "mount a recall of any justice who votes to overturn the measure".

Glad to see the threats have already begun. :rolleyes: Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Well, Californians are nothing if not reasonable.

No wait, did I say reasonable? I meant unreasonable. Unreasonable.

People here keep complaining that Californians have "taken over" Montana. So maybe we've stolen some of your liberals.

you do have the appropriate landscape for the faux-meditative, guilt-ridden, desperate-for-'spirituality' kind that think the wilderness invokes some sort of innocent purity.

good luck with those.

Maybe we gave you some of our God-fearing, gun-toting conservatives in the exchange?
