63. But you did admit earlier that Prop 8 IS precedent setting...

in that there has never been a Fundamental Right (as declared by the CA Supreme Court) ever stripped from a Suspect Class, by a proposition that has won by a simple majority. I would argue that this is "far reaching" because it allows a simple majority, influenced by false advertising, to place into law discrimination against a minority. This goes against the basic principles of our state government, and significantly alters the state government plan.
