Well considering murder is kind of an affornt to the pursuit of life as stated in the California constitution
I have no idea why this is an erroneous comparison. Back in the 50's and 60's a lot of people considered blacks less than full white humans. Today a lot of people think gay people are just perverts and their right to form families and access legal rights which protect families should not be legally recognized. I fail to see the difference.

The court would be within there rights as that is explicitly stated. There is nothing about marriage therefore this should've gone to the legislature. It didnt because the gays saw an opportunity to get it done through the courts because they knew they would take a VERY liberal view on the word happiness. Now its biting them. So poo on them for being dumb and not appealing to the mainstream.
There is nothing explicitly stated in the Constitution about water fountains. However, the Constitution DOES include language about equal protections of all U.S. citizens, and equal rights. So courts rule this kind of business unconstitutional. The same rulings ... the "good rulings" that even you guys would agree with today, growing up after the history of formalized segregation, you would and do call "judicial overreaching" if applied today overturning voter-passed legislation.
