Wherever one or more TV cameras may gather, there you shall find Gloria Allred.
The left-wing media hound attorney is going to announce a lawsuit against Proposition 8 in a few minutes.
On what legal basis? Who knows.
The political basis, of course, is media exposure for Gloria Allred.

Gloria Allred is All-wet on this one as their is no credible argument for a lawsuit against Prop 8.

Her rationale is apparently that, because the Court ruled that limiting marriage to only between a man and a woman violated the Equal Protection Clause of the CA Constitution, Prop. 8 became a revision of the constitution rather than merely an amendment, and a simple majority vote is inadequate to revise the constitution. Of course, the constitution is actually silent on the issue of marriage, and the court only “found” this right after Prop. 8 had already qualified for the ballot. But, no matter, never sell short the “creativity” of leftist lawyers in finding ways to circumvent the expressed will of the people.

I should correct my above comment. Prop. 8 qualified for the ballot on June 2, 2008, while the CA supreme court decision came down on May 15. But the prop. and its signatures had already been submitted by that date.

Matt:
Today (December 13, 2008) the Secretary of State issued the certified and
Final election results from the November 4th election.
They show more than SEVEN MILLION Californians said YES to Prop. 8,
and that it won by a solid 600,000-vote majority statewide.
To paraphrase a famous Elvis Presley album cover from the 1950s,
“7 Million Californians can’t be Wrong!”
YES….7,001,084
NO……6,401,482
Proposition 8 also won 42 of California’s 58 counties. These numbers
ought to make interesting reading for certain judges scheduled to face
voters in November 2010.
