Calif. Supreme Court Rejects Challenge to Marriage Amendment Vote

The California Supreme Court has refused to hear a legal challenge to the November vote on the marriage protection amendment by the ACLU and other pro-homosexual activists.

According to the Mercury News:

The California Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a bid by civil rights groups to remove a measure from the November ballot that would restore the state’s ban on same-sex marriage. Without comment, the justices unanimously refused to hear the legal challenge, filed last month by Equality California, a group opposed to Proposition 8.

There had been some concern that the same court which overturned the will of the people (who had voted in 2000 to specifically define marriage as between a man and a woman) would also overturn the people’s opportunity to vote on a constitutional amendment in November defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

Apparently there is still some sanity floating around in California.

Now, if the voters reject marriage in November it will be on their heads, not an unelected oligarchy. But from the looks of polling results, that isn’t likely to happen.
