Not giving up: Opponents ask California Supreme Court to stop gay weddingsSAN FRANCISCO Opponents of same-sex marriage on Friday demanded that the California Supreme Court immediately halt same-sex marriages recently resumed in the nations largest state after a 9-year legal battle.
The group that sponsored Proposition 8 and its ban on same-sex marriages in 2008 launched a two-pronged legal attack Friday in what legal experts described as a last-ditch argument with little chance of succeeding.
ProtectMarriage argued Friday that state officials incorrectly interpreted a June 24 U.S. Supreme Court ruling tossing out the gay marriage ban on a legal technicality as legalizing same-sex weddings in the state.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that ProtectMarriage had no standing to pursue an appeal of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision striking down Proposition 8 to the high court even though California Gov. Jerry Brown and state Attorney General Kamala Harris declined to defend the ballot measure passed by 52 percent to 48 percent.
On Friday, ProtectMarriage argued in its petition to the state Supreme Court that Proposition 8 remains California law because the U.S. Supreme Court didnt rule directly on the constitutionality of same-sex marriages in case widely called the Perry case.

I keep going back to a time when people had to forage for food. I see people picking berries, and being active as they do what it takes to survive. Then along comes cheap energy, and everyone thinks they're a king. Way too much time on their hands.
This argument is kind of weak because lots of people aren't concerned with what other people do, and they have just as much freedom to do it as the dipshits.
Well, that's my silly thought on the subject. I'm usually not far off, even though it always sounds like bullshit.
In the meantime, I can sympathize with how frustrated you must feel. Just know that a bunch of us are with you. Only a minority are less evolved than fleas.

(23,867 posts)I find this fascinating. And it has always seemed to me that the problems of the world are simple and easy to solve. But dumb people just keep getting in the way.
Well I'll be honest, I have my hates. I hate irresponsible people who are messing up the world. I had a dream last night that president Palin declared war on France. Haha.
Also, (and I apologize for replying when all you were doing was just making a simple statement) I remember when Prop 8 was put on the ballot. I thought immediately "that's not even constitutional". Look at all of the wasted time and energy and emotions.

The rest of my ideas involve some variation on the theme of blunt force trauma.
