which for reasons that elude my sense of rationality can be changed by a simple majority

As Thomas Jefferson said, “Democracy is simply mob rule.” The only way to reverse Proposition 8 is to get a new ballot initiative going … with a majority behind it. Quite a paradox, no?

If you read the Supreme Court decision, it’s clear that the court had to rule on the constitutionality of the process, and not the issue. The court had already ruled that the state constitution couldn’t restrict marriage to heterosexual couples only, so the bigots went and changed the constitution, which for reasons that elude my sense of rationality can be changed by a simple majority.

California’s democratic process is out of control and our state has nothing but bankruptcy, the triumph of bigotry and failure to show for it

I’m not bashing Iowa. I am praising them. Just in case any militants come after me for what I said.
