[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Protest the passage of Prop 8

[Cabal]

Prop 8 is a move by the Death Eaters to gain even more control over muggles
by stripping way the rights of "liberty and the pursuit of happiness" by
amending CA's state constitution to say "all men" are not "created equal"
and therefore are not "endowed by their creator with certain unalienable
rights."

The irony in all this is that the courts decide what is constitutional and
what is not. The state and Federal Supreme courts have the authority to
overturn any amendment to the state and federal constitution if the court
rules it is not constitutional.

Any amendment restricting one person's rights is unconstitutional, so the
court would have to find Prop 8 unconstitutional and order it stricken.

The irony I was referring to is that prop 8 in effect ran the system
backwards, it overturned the court's ruling when in fact it's up to the
court to decide if it's legal in the first place.

What prop 8's passing may have done is send the case to the US Supreme
Court, whom, may very well rule it unconstitutional -- assuring that no
state can ban gay marriage.

Kemper now:
Proposition 8 was on the ballot in California.  A 'yes' on 8, which 
passed, stripped away the civil rights of gays & lesbians to get 
married.  What's notable is that it amended California's state 
constitution to define (restrict) marriage as being between a man and a 
woman overriding the state's supreme court decision to recognize same-
sex marriage as a fundamental right.  

Why is that notable, one might ask.  Well, as time passes, 
constitutions open up rights for the oppressed rather than later taking 
away a right or more accurately oppressing its citizens.  Additionally, 
tt made national news due to the irony involved.  Though arguements can 
be made that the 'no' campaign did not canvass communities which had an 
usually high ratio of voters supporting the oppression. 

Hope that helps!
May your (and everyone's) weekend be joyous and blessed!!!

Kemper
