I'm goin' back to Cali...

It seems the Mormon & Catholic churches did not go through the proper procedures when putting the discriminatory Proposition 8 on California's ballot last November. Oops.

Turns out you cannot simply slap a prop on the ballot to legislate discrimination by majority rule. (However thin that majority may be.) The CA "State Senate Judiciary Committee voted 3-2 Tuesday to approve a resolution that says the proposition's ban on same-sex marriages was a constitutional revision. As such, it would have needed approval from the Legislature to reach last November's ballot." The state Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in the case on March 5.
