[Cant trust em]

1. "I don't care what the judge thinks about the constitution"

I'll remember that the next time they're talking about strict constructionism.

[KamaAina]

5. It actually says that!

Someone needs to get a screen shot of that.

6. Faux Nation doesn't care what judges think about the Constitution. Check.

7. The ironic thing is that the judge was following strictly, the Constitution when the ruling was made

Prop 8 violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

Pure and simple.

It also violated Section 10 of Article I.

<snip>
Section 10 - Powers prohibited of States

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
<snip>

Prop 8 could be considered a Bill of Attainder. A Bill of Attainder is a law passed that subjects a particular entity or set of individuals to a law that doesn't apply to the rest of the people. Prop 8, by banning gays and lesbians from marrying, and not heterosexuals, applies to only a relatively small section of the population. Thus, a Bill of Attainder.

Therefore, overturned.
