All the bantering back and forth about the court ruling today is pointless. This was not about gay or straight marriage or the endorsement of either position.
This court ruling really only dealt ONLY with two things (The court ruled appropriately on both):
1. "Can the citizens of CA make this amendment to the state constitution"
YES the people, who properly got placed the initiative on the proper ballot and yes, a majority approved it. Its that simple.
2. "Are the existing marriages legal in light of the new amendment"
YES they are, as they are portected under the US constitution which protects people from retrospective punishment.
The debate on this is over. Now, the next step, go back to the initiative game, put up a new one makeing gay marraige a right of the people and take it to the vote next time around. If it passes - you will be happy that the COURTS do not have the authority to OVER TURN the vote of the people... keep in mind, the judges in power may not always be on your side.
Judge's are ONLY to enforce the rule of law... not make it. Otherwise... the people have no voice!
