grim amusements / May 26, 2009 / california says nay ... again:

...Mind, it was mildly surprising that the court was that strongly against declaring the proposition to be in fact a revision. One would have thought that it would be closer than that, somehow.

And people are planning already to try to take it back to the ballot box in 2010 or 2012. One does wonder what they expect to be different, or what they plan to do to produce a different outcome. And one wonders if the leaders of the various groups have any plans for preventing the spectacularly ugly racial divide that erupted after the proposition revoked the right to marry the first time. What will they do, if and/or when, a majority of the voters of California say, "No, really, we meant it. WE DON'T LIKE YOU. WE DO NOT THINK YOU ARE OUR EQUALS. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO EQUAL RIGHTS."
