California adopted Prop 8 on Tuesday, banning same sex marriage in the state constitution. It took less than 24 hours for the American Civil Liberties Union to file a request for the state supreme court to overturn the gay marriage ban.
Um...excuse me...but they want the supreme court to overturn what is now a part of the constitution of the state of California? It was a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, for crying out loud. Judges don't get to toss the CONSTITUTION. Yet that's exactly what they are trying to do. Seriously, folks, I'm not making this up. The above link takes you straight to the ACLU's argument.
This just proves why Florida, Arizona and California needed these amendments in the first place. Those who favor gay marriage aren't too interested in the rule of law. They believe that their wishes supercede the constitution and the rest of us should just get over it.
