LA County Atty announced they are joining other cities/counties in filing a motion in the courts that 8 was an amendment to the CA Constitution requiring a 2/3 vote. Since that vote was not achieved the measure failed and the court ruling this Spring stands.

I believe litigating the matter and having a court ruling is needed to move to the forefront as the most expedient resolution. Civil Rights issues in the past tended to have been best resolved in the courts to interpret the constitution. I suspect this issue is one we really need the Feds to step in and just make a ruling once and for all.

With all due respect CD, I believe the constant standing up and raising their voices at rally’s now is not “squandering human capital” as it is getting our lawmakers and courts attention and spurring them into action. Aside from that the term “human capital” is offensive to me, it is discounting people and their beliefs to a simple commodity that is tossed about like chits at a poker game.

Or are they still squandering the human capital that is desperate for a meaningful opportunity to volunteer?

Not all effort is a best effort. I just want some honest discussion of the 8 campaign and some realistic planning for the future. Everyone get thee to a campaign management class, stat!
