Hello,
I am concerned that your repeated airing this morning of the Prop 8 trial rezults include one significant clip of a Drag Queen/Painted-Faced Nun, RATHER THAN Lawyers, Judges, Photos of Litigants, etc.

Who made this decision?

Is this really what CNN sees as representative to this important legal case?

This is completely derrogatory and non-representative of the actual events. Please do not ridicule that which should be serious reporting?

A decision to overturn a vote impacts ALL voters, both those who vote in favor or who vote against. It should ALWAYS be a measure of last resort.

In this case, it is decidedly a measure of last resort.

I could respect them if they said, “This decision does not respect the 13.4 million California voters who expressed their will and 52% of which affirmed the amendment.” I would disagree, but respect their thinking.

But you are right. Any time anyone goes for the sensationalistic “seven million Californians”, you know that they are not respecting the voters but only wanting to get their way. As a California voter, I resent that.

You can debate whether a majority has the right to vote on the rights of a minority, of course, but throwing out a huge number for shock value (SEVEN MILLION!) is such a cheap shot. What about the SIX AND A HALF MILLION voters whose will would be overruled by reversing the decision? Those people don’t count somehow? Or is SEVEN MILLION the arbitrary number at which shock and dismay is allowed to be registered?

Anyway … glad to hear that’s one step this case won’t be dragged out any further for. Woohoo! Now how about lifting the stay? :)

Indeed.

I would add that the same kind of people who think that gay judges cannot be impartial and should recuse themselves from LGBT related cases are the same ones that cannot help but take their bibles into every courtroom they sit in.
