WELCOME TO THE NEW SOVIET UNION!
IF BROWN DOESN’T AGREE WITH THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE, WHEN THE MAJORITY OF THE CALIFORNIANS VOTED FOR PROP 8, WHY DOES HE DEFEND A MAJORITY OF 4 TO 3 OF A JURY OF 7 INDIVIDUALS?
DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!
SPEAKING ABOUT EQUAL RIGHTS, IS THERE SOMETHING IN THE CONSTITUTION SAYING AN EDUCATED VOTE SHOULD OUTLAW AN UNEDUCATED VOTE?
THEY WANT TO IMPOSE THIS (AND OTHERS, TO COME) ON US LIKE IN THE OLD SOVIET UNION.
THE DAMAGE BROWN AND THE 4 JUDGES WHO OPPOSE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE CAN INFLICT ON CALIFORNIA AND ULTIMATELY ON THE ENTIRE WORLD IS BEYOND IMAGINATION. IF YOU DON’T BELEIVE, JUST THINK THE ECONOMIC DAMAGE INFLICTED RECENTLY ON US BY THE GREEDY INDIVIDUALS ON WALL STREET IS TINY COMPARED TO THE SOCIAL DAMAGE (AMONG THE CONSEQUENCES YOU CAN COUNT CIVIL WAR…) CAUSED BY THIS ONE.
It should be obvious to anyone with half a brain that a mob should not be allowed to enact a racist or bigoted religiously motivated public policy, which is exactly what happened here.
Remember, you don’t live in a Democracy where every decision is decided by popular vote (Thank God), you live in a Republic where we elect educated representatives to make decisions and laws, especially the laws that are too important to allow a large group of religious fanatics to enshrine bigotry into a state constitution by a popular vote.
Go look at popular votes for racist segregation back in the 50′s and 60′s which were eventually overturned which are seen today as embarrassing to any politician who supported them. You’ll see the same thing here in 20 years and Jerry Brown has obviously had his eyes opened to that fact.
It’s strange to be agreeing with Brown on anything.
We no longer teach the benefits of a Republic in our schools. Fascism, communism, and socialism were established in countries by majorities. A Republic protects the rights of individuals and the minority against the tyranny of the majority. Being free means letting others do things that you don’t approve of.
While it’s hard to refer to this kleptocracy as either a Democracy or a Republic, it clearly wasn’t intended to be a democracy.
