Proposition 8 and Believers

As I leave for retreat, I note it’s getting pretty hot in California and elsewhere regarding Proposition 8. Almost sad to be incommunicado as the debate rages. Does seem to me, though – from a strictly legislative point of view, anyhow – that the “will of the people,” is supposed to mean something. Had gay marriage been approved, that would certainly (and justly) be the case, wouldn’t it?

As my Li’l Bro Thom said to a co-worker at his job (about a different but similar issue)

“…this is a Republic. It’s not up to the courts to make that decision. Remember how you hated it when you thought the SCOTUS overturned ‘the will of the people’ after the 2000 election?”

Here’s what I’ve written about Gay Marriage recently, if anyone is interested.
