Be careful what you wish for

Note: Prop 8 in California amends the constitution to define marriage as 1 man and 1 woman only. It passed 52% to 48% in the Nov 4 election.

This entry has to do with prop 8 (California), but isn't solely about prop 8.

Since prop 8 passed, thousands of opponents of the proposition have been protesting it. They're confident that like earlier in 2008, the legislation can be overturned because it is deemed unconstitutional.

Whether you are for or against prop 8, the voice of the people should be honored. Had 8 not been passed, I would have honored that, even though I would be against it.

Having our vote taken away would set another precedent for the future in taking away the voice, the vote of the people and putting it in the government's hands.

Opponents of prop 8 will probably get what they want in overturning 8, but at what cost? They argue that prop 8 takes away freedom. How about the vote of the people being taken away? Is that not unconstitutional.
