Last Post On Marriage

For a while. Until next time. I promise.

Sorry, but I had to drop this one in. From the LA Times, an interview with Chief Justice Ron George. This quote hits the nail right on the head:

Rather than ignoring voters, "what you are doing is applying the Constitution, the ultimate expression of the people's will," George said.

And from Governor Arnold, in SFGate:

"When the people vote, people are not legal experts, constitutional experts or any of that," he said. "I think that's why we have the courts. People may vote with good intentions, but then the court says, 'This is not constitutional.'

"It's not that the court interferes with the will of the people," he added. "But the court says, 'You voted for something, but it's not constitutionally right, so let's rework this.' That's really the idea."

My only question is why can't we get something that clear and level-headed from the three presidential candidates?
