I wonder how that LDS family who donated their life savings to Proposition 8 feels now?

I think I made a mistake. The subject line was supposed to read "might be overturned" , as I don't believe there is a definitive overturn just yet. Sorry.

From OP:


State Assembly and Senate Considering Resolution Encouraging State Supreme Court to Overturn Prop 8!!! SR7 and HR5 On Tuesday, February 17th at 10:30 am, The Assembly Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing followed at 12:30 pm by a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Proposition 8. The committees will be considering crafting a joint resolution encouraging the California State Supreme Court to overturn Prop 8. By issuing the resolution the Assembly will officially express its opposition to Proposition 8, calling for its repeal, and stating that it was an "improper revision" to the state constitution.

Read HR5 http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bil ... m_v98.html

and Read SR7 http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bil ... n_v98.html

Passing these resolutions flies in the face of the will of the voters. Prop 8, was passed by a clear majority of California voters in November 2008. Fifty-two percent of California voters stood up to protect the family, which is the lynch pin of civilization. William Glaston, a former policy adviser to President Clinton, is quoted in the UFI Marriage Advantage Family Guide. He states, "Marriage is an important social good, associated with an impressively broad array of positive outcomes for children and adults alike....Whether American society succeeds or fails in building a healthy marriage culture is clearly a matter of legitimate public concern."
God has the right to create and to destroy, to make like and to kill. He can delegate this authority if he wishes to. I know that can be scary. Deal with it.

The CA Supreme court isn't going to hear the issue until March 5.

It's just more panic and FUD from the MADites.

(And don't ever rely on MAD for news - it's gonna come in distorted and often just plain wrong).

Probably good advice regarding getting your news from any "message board".

Probably the same way most liberal fascists like yourself feel: the same sense of smarmy, gloating glee that republican self government has been defeated by oligarchic authoritarianism and righteousness has been yet again defeated by evil...the evil you so wallow and glory in.

You think the LDS family feels smarmy, gloating glee?
