Thanks Noble for bringing this to my attention.

Outraged when it happened, I posted and quoted the California Constitution:

“A citizen or class of citizens may not be granted privileges or immunities not granted on the same terms to all citizens.”

Equal enjoyment of rights. It’s not that difficult, a child can grasp it.

“That the majority of California voters supported Proposition 8 is irrelevant, as fundamental rights may not be submitted to [a] vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.” —West Virginia State Board of Education v Barnette, 319 US 624, 638 (1943)

What have I been saying since Prop H8 was passed? That you cannot vote on basic rights.

I was disgusted that so many ppl did not realize that everything can’t be voted on. Time and again ppl were telling me, “well it was voted in!” as if that were the appropriate determining factor, no matter what the item in question was.

They don’t think it through.

I even gave the analogy “What if the majority voted in favor of a proposition to return blacks to slavery. Should that then happen, solely because the majority voted it in?”

They still didn’t get it. And I felt lonely and outraged.

Prop 8′s and my analogy’s requirements to pass are identical:

That you throw out the idea and spirit of equal enjoyment of rights (to all)—and introduce and accept the notion that fundamental rights can be so easily subverted by simply polling the majority of dimwits that make up most populations.

I feel vindicated.

Thank you Federal Judge Vaughn Walker.
