Worldwatcher knows the only constitutional finding in the Prop 8 & DOMA twin cases is that each state may come to a consensus on gay marriage and only then can the fed make a determination on its legitmacy. This of course means "no guarantees for gay marriage because we want everyone to weigh in on this because its new, unusual and potentially socially disruptive, or not."
Which of course means Prop 8 is the Law in California and may not be taken away from the 7 million majority consensus who enacted it by a constitutional guarantee of their rights to decide upon it.
Of course Worldwatcher knows this but I suspect s/he is one of those lawyers or legal strategists clogging the internet with disinformation about the Prop 8/DOMA Decisions this year...lest anyone catch on and figure it all out before they can "[illegally] marry their way into legitimacy".
However, this would be a complete and utter circumvention of the intent of the Framers of the Constitution for people to decide via consensus on such a weird and new social ideal that will affect their social fabric from here into the unforseeable future [unforseeable to those who haven't studied Ancient Greece].
The DOMA Opinion states over and again that this new, weird concept of people of the same gender wanting to play act man and wife is a concept that a wide swath of the American Public needs to weigh in on in order to most properly govern themselves and their social fabric. I dare Worldwatcher or anyone else to claim that this is not so. I will happily provide multiple quotes from the DOMA Opinion that iterate and reiterate this conclusion they came to.
The situation in California isn't some cutesy gay activist "victory". It is a dangerous erosion of American Law. It is sedition of the highest order. To deny people their guaranteed rights by majority to determine their social destiny when no issue of race or creed is involved, instead just deviant behaviors, is the eroson of civil and penal codes and basically all laws if you really think about it. For what do all laws govern if not human behaviors?
