Another strong argument for passing prop 8 is to send a message to the judges who abused their power to invalidate the will of 61% of Californians. This is an issue should not be overlooked. Our constitution was set-up with a three branch system to provide the checks and balances necessary to avoid any one branch amassing too much influence over the system. The judicial branch does not have the power of the legislative. If judges who continue this trend are not chastened by the people they will continue to use this method for “writing law” that was neither intended by the original authors of our constitution nor approved by the citizens of the state. This is an issue that affects you no matter your stand on prop 8. It must not go in our state or federal level.
