California Supreme Court to hear Proposition 8 challenges

California Supreme Court prop 8

The California Supreme Court has agreed to hear several legal challenges to Proposition 8.

The three lawsuits to be heard seek to nullify Proposition 8 on the grounds that it abridges the civil rights of a vulnerable minority group, and argue that voters did not have the authority to enact such a significant constitutional change.

The ruling was not all good news for anti-Prop 8 protestors however, with the Court ruling against an order that would have permitted GLBT couples to marry until the cases were resolved.

The court directed California Attorney General Jerry Brown and pro-Proposition 8 supporters to submit their arguments for why the ballot initiative should not be nullified by December 19. Proposition 8 opponents must respond before January 5. Oral arguments for the challenges may be heard as soon as March 2009.

    Enough already with the butt pirate whining! You want to be a sexual deviant, don't act like its a sacred right. I don't get special rights for my perversion, and neither should you. Nobody stops you folks from filming “Dances with Ralph”; They justr don't want you to claim that the fact that you have a sexual perversion entitles you to a tax break. You want kinky stuff–Do it. But please don't have a fit when nobody wants you to rub it in their face.
