So today the California Supreme Court asked A.G Jerry Brown to file a brief in the suit by Monday. Remember that he’s not being asked to respond to the entire suit, he’s only being asked to respond to two things:
1) Whether the court should review the case at all (remember, the CA Supreme Court has discretion to reject cases) and
2) Whether Prop. 8 should be suspended while the case is decided (check out our explanation of an “immediate stay”).
Also, Jerry Brown does not support Prop. 8, as AG he’s required to “defend” the lawsuit. He has zero interest in defending it, expect Yes-On-8s hired thugs at Liberty Counsel to get involved.

In the garden of eden it was a man & woman NOT Bruce and Harry ! A MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN A MAN & WOMAN. Now, if the same gender wish to have similar rights as a married couple DO SO BY A CIVIL UNION as other countrys have and get off this kick of trying to be the SAME. – NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Besides, why are we spending 40% of our time worring about 1% of the population. THE MAJORITY RULES ! Just stop this nonsence.

And, of course, the entire point is that the majority doesn’t rule, in all cases. Since Rich is obviously a Christian, with his garden of eden references, I wonder how he’d feel if we voted to ban Christians from getting married.
After all, being Christian is very much a choice. One might ask Mormons about such things like conversion . . .
