25. Not in the case of a REVISION to the constitution...
Edited on Sat Nov-08-08 06:23 PM by AntiFascist
The Prop 8 people were operating under the assumption that this is only an amendment to the constitution. Since gay marriage was established by the CA Supreme Court under the Equal Protection clause, the case is being made that Prop. 8 must then revise the meaning of the constitution. This really is pretty straightforward. Amendments are only meant to clarify the existing Constitution.
