So, ONE judge gets to nullify the will of the people of California.
Outrageous.
This is liberal judicial activism at it's core.
This case was argued by Ted Olson, Bush's solicitor general (who also argued Bush v. Gore), and the opinion was issued by a Bush appointed judge. If it's judicial activism, it's by members of Bush's team.
Civil rights such as this should NEVER be voted on by the people.
Also: Democratic republic. That means, the government CAN override the "will of the people" if it's for the betterment of society. Such as the case for gay marriage.
Whats wrong with CIVIL UNIONS?! Why do they want so bad to call something marriage that is not marriage. Marriage will always be a man and a woman, no matter what they say. Trying to say a man w/ a man or woman w/ a woman is the same, is just crazy.
You want to give them rights as a couple, fine, but the sanctity of marriage should be upheld.
You don't get to speak for everyone. People voted in a legal election, and they voted the way they wanted to vote. If you think this ruling is an indicator of anything, you're wrong.
It's one person's opinion...One person who thinks their opinion is more valid than everyone who voted another way. In other words, they think the same way you do, only they have some clout. Too bad for you it doesn't end there.
I think you will eat those words as the last gasp of bigotry. Even Argentina recently OK's gay marriage.

Does that mean people will have a more favorable opinion about Bush now? While Obama has said on the record that he's not in favor of gay marriage, "Bush's team" is obviously trying to help gay people. Add to that all of the work Bush did to combat AIDS. Maybe a thank you is in order instead of the usual hatred.
