Re: Proposition 8 declared unconstitutional
One of the many purposes of law is also to protect minorities from majorities, specifically the ignorant and intolerant ones.I'm torn on this. While I agree with their sentiments, I share CR's concerns about their method. Prop 8 meant something - that a slight majority of Californians, buoyed specifically by blacks, are as ignorant as they are intolerant. Regardless, the people's will and the process should be respected.
