The Cali Garmo

Forty Bar Associations throughout the country join an evergrowing force asking the Supreme Court of California to reject Proposition 8.

The main argument is again that Proposition 8 was a constitutional revision and not a constitutional amendment and therefore should have neeeded 2/3 of the vote instead of a simple majority. In fact it shouldn't have even been placed on the ballot according to Californian law. For a revision to go on the ballot 2/3 of the state legislature needs to approve the bill before it goes to the public while a constitutional amendment can be put on using an initiaitive method where you go out and collect signatures to get something added on the ballot as was done with Proposition 8.

My question to everyone: If Proposition 8 was never allowed on the ballot, and also didn't get the 2/3 vote required because it was a constitutional revision, why are people not still going to their city halls and getting marriage certificates (or wherever you get them)? I say, if you want to get married, it is still legal. Go out and get married.
