Civic Review: Checks and Balances

So a civics reminder. The constitution was designed with checks and balances. While the judicial check on legislatures is well known (declaring things unconstitutional), there is a check on the judiciary. It's called a constitutional amendment.

That's what voters decided to do in California with Proposition 8. The new constitutional amendment should supersede any vague language about "due process of law".

However, the liberal judiciary is still trying to push it's nose in the way.

"The California Supreme Court today denied requests to stay the enforcement or implementation of Proposition 8, and at the same time agreed to decide several issues arising out of the passage of Proposition 8.

"The court’s order, issued in the first three cases that had been filed directly in the state’s highest court challenging the validity of Proposition 8, directed the parties to brief and argue three issues:

(1) Is Proposition 8 invalid because it constitutes a revision of, rather than an amendment to, the California Constitution?

(2) Does Proposition 8 violate the separation-of-powers doctrine under the California Constitution?

(3) If Proposition 8 is not unconstitutional, what is its effect, if any, on the marriages of same-sex couples performed before the adoption of Proposition 8?"

Who needs a democracy? We can just be ruled by a few judges.
