just watched 8 - The Mormon Proposition...


eye opening for sure, and begs the question: Should one state be able to say what goes on in another state?

Why would states not just start overturning laws in all other states?

Also begs the question: Why is the Mormon church still considered tax exempt?

They crossed the line of church-state when the supported that bill...

I say we tax that cult

Breaking: CNN is reporting that the California judge has overturned Prop 8, saying it is inconsistent with the US constitution. Prop 8 supporters have already filed an appeal.

It ain't over by a long shot, but score one for fairness, equality, and the US Constitution.

It will be interesting to see what happens at the Supreme Ct.

Unless a conservative justice retires, I think it's going to be a rough ride.

Then again, Ted Olson is a savvy guy, and I don't think he would've taken it if he thought it was a sure fire loser before the Supreme Court.

Good day to be an American. Prop 8 takes it up the a*#! Now I get to go make all my gay friends uncomfortable by asking them when they are going to get married! ;)

Schwarzenegger & Brown just issued statements hailing the CA SC ruling- Meg Whitman issued a statement stating she's in favor of equal rights for gays, but is against gay marriage.

Between that position and her predicament on a position on immigration, it could be a tough road to Sacramento for 'The Shover'.

Does Meg still believe in "separate but equal"? SC struck that down a long time ago. Will be an interesting Fall...more fodder for ST!

I think it's wrong to have a known gay judge deciding a case like this. And why did he disallow the stay until the case was appealed?

Activist judge?

But a known straight judge would be okay? Why is that?

Edit to add: Would it have been better if he'd been a closeted gay judge?

"Activist judge?"

Only if the judge comes down with a decision you don't like. Otherwise it's called constitutional justice.

Why? Please explain.

EDIT:
Gay people should have all of the same rights, but why insult millions of religious people, come up with another word(term).

Like separate but equal?

but why insult millions of gay people...

They could have had a gay porn star write this opinion, it doesn't matter. This case is moving on up. Depending on the panel that gets drawn in the 9th, it will be reversed or affirmed.

Then Justice Kennedy will decide whether or not Prop 8 is constitutional.

"You guys fail to see my point.... "

bluering, your 'point' is well-known amongst all of us. It doesn't need to be reiterated, unless you feel strongly about reinforcing your homophobia. In which case, don't let us stop you...
