Only the validity of the public vote on the issue. It was legit and SCOTUS will recognize it as such.


Strauss v. Horton dealt with the validity of the public vote on the issue. It was done by the State Supreme Court after prop 8 and the decision was 6 to 1.

Perry v. Schwarzenegger now called Perry v. Brown is about whether Prop 8 violates the 14th amendment of the US Constitution. If the case violates the 14th amendment (the equal protection under the law amendment added after the civil war), then the supreme court will gladly overturn the will of the people. Constitution is supreme in the US, it has something called the frickin Supremacy Clause in it

While I usually think the Ninth Circuit is smoking crack, this was a reasonable decision. *NM* Tom - 07/02/2012 09:38:17 PM 159 Views
not crack, more like marijuana for "medicinal" purposes.... *NM* moondog - 08/02/2012 03:41:20 AM 177 Views
Medicinal marijuana could not make the Ninth Circuit as crazy as they are. Tom - 08/02/2012 06:12:31 AM 377 Views

Correct in most legal ways the court could split (but not all) Roland00 - 07/02/2012 11:31:22 PM 416 Views
Good, sounds like some judges at least are human. *NM* Stephen - 08/02/2012 02:13:30 AM 148 Views

SCOTUS will overturn this ruling and uphold the ban,,,,, Anonymous2000 - 09/02/2012 01:16:00 AM 372 Views
Very unlikely. The most likely outcome is a 5-4 decision upholding the 9th Circuit. *NM* Tom - 09/02/2012 01:24:08 AM 158 Views
Sure looks like it; good news for gays, bad news for Obama. Joel - 09/02/2012 02:23:24 AM 509 Views
The only way that I think the votes would change is if a justice died or had to retire. Tom - 09/02/2012 06:56:40 PM 477 Views

Nice try, but no dice. SCOTUS will rule that it doesn't violate the 14th amendment. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 09/02/2012 04:21:30 AM 166 Views
Do you hear what you are saying? Roland00 - 09/02/2012 04:27:15 AM 457 Views
