You miss the point entirely. Prop 8 ammended the constitution based on a simply majority, not a supermajority as is usually required for a constitutional ammendment. This is a major problem with the initiative process in California, that allows tyranny of the majority. ……


No, you miss the point. The Amendment has been reviewed by the Supreme Court of California as to whether it permits “tyranny” or injustice of any real kind (not perceived, not whining, not non-evidentiary complaining or baseless emotional attacking). Considering this test, the fact that is was voted into being is irrelevant in that if there were real harm (this representing “tyranny”) done to a group under equal protection or other clauses the review would have/should have caught such ill treatment. It did not. The opinion is there for your review and appeal. Misappropriating the process on a message board, which you seem to insist upon doing to redundant length, is a waste of time compared to the magnificent work you could be doing to construct an appeal to any flawed logic in that 6-1 decision … unless of course, you really have nothing.
