The former California governor, now state attorney general, decided on the final ballot language for Proposition 8, the measure that would ban gay marriage in the Golden State. And, since the California Supreme Court had just legalized gay marriage, he changed Prop. 8’s official ballot language to reflect that.
The language as it stands (Prop. 8 organizers sued and lost) may have cost gay marriage foes as much as 8 percentage points.
Meanwhile, Prop. 8 foes are finally taking the lead on the fundraising race.
And, if Prop 8 fails, despite the “Defense of Marriage Act,” I don’t see how we can’t soon have a Constitutional challenge on the “full faith and credit” clase.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
