When the Supreme Court Votes
Bad? Brilliant?

Lets be honest, the Supreme Court is demographically opposed the the overturning of Prop 8. With 6 Justices appointed by Republican Governors and only one by a Democrat, the conservative viewpoint is politically/likely going to be upheld.

I am obviously not an attorney. I never spent a day in law school. I have no respected role in law. What I do know is logic:
- The courts today wasn't fought over the humanity of encroaching on civil rights it, as in all Supreme Court cases, was fought over precedence of other decisions. If the courts vote in favor of Prop 8, they will be voting in favor of this idea, "The public's vote has precedence over all else."

In the short term this is scary, it is scary because we lost the Prop 8 fight and gay marriage in CA will be lost...for now.

The long term is this:

We simply need to overturn the 2008 Prop 8 decision. My analysis is simple, just take the majority in the next round of voting.

The issue of gay marriage may be a flip flopping of opinions. We will get an opinion when the court votes in favor of Prop 8; by doing so, the court will backed into a corner that every time the popular opinion disagrees with the 2008 vote, gay marriage will be legal.

Call it flap jack attack, call it flip flopping, call it back and forth laws, call it double jeopardy...the result will be the same. The issue of Prop 8 won't be resolved in 90 days. It will be the course of history.

We will prevail, it is just a matter of when and how long we hold the popular opinion.
