before we take a break the ninth circuit has struck down proposition eight
un pretty marrow grounds close this happened just a couple of days ago i
know you're up on on all of the news
and three panel judge
uh... three-judge panel rather version for example he hurt you
well collapsible really musical apple has basically they just bring a man and
then infra-red handles brea it's like one of those three panel things that a
craft fair you know i look at a school project fair right when you do your book
report you do it on three panels
in judge has put together a three panel report
on prop eight angela's a long story short prop eight is unconstitutional
violates the equal protection clause this is a big big win this is the
opinion of judge steven reinhardt who was joined by judge michael harkins and
it says proposition eight serves no purpose and has no effect
other than to lessen the status and dignity of gays and lesbians in
california
uh... and to classify their relationships as inferior to those of
opposite sex couples spot on the list i mean this is just perfect sense
this is going to be appealed by proponents of proposition eight the idea
here that the will of the people was somehow violated and therefore this
needs to be made a bright is completely bogus because you can't just put
anything to a vote if we had put slavery to a vote a couple of hundred years ago
in this country the results would have been much different then that which we
now consider to be the obvious
position on slavery a majority against a minority does not have the right to
impose anything if it is as it is uh... what with the word the if it's if it's
disadvantageous if it is discriminatory against that minority and this is an
example of that
to the t right and no matter how many times this comes up uh... it when it
lands in front of judges who have a clear understanding of the constitution
we'll get the same result
unless of course at some point there is an amendment to the constitution uh...
which some conservatives want
uh... hopefully will never happen shouldn't happen because it will be
uh...
because it will be for religious reasons and uh...
yeah i do we have to continue keeping in mind that if if things continue this way
the engine gain nuts are going to lose right i mean they just lost just
yesterday of the day before washington state legislature voted to approve same
sex marriage we're seeing it happen of month after month we're seeing busing
proposals
and it's the direction we're going in the less i don't know what else to tell
you if that is what it is regardless and what it is lewis says it's going to be
