Let's Get JUDICIAL! JUDICIAL!

The California Supreme Court today overturned the ban on gay marriage. This, of course, after the California State voters decided that marriage was between a man and a woman back in 2000. Prop 22 was decided as "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid and recognized in California." That SHOULD have been the end of it. But, as with the history of California and it's liberal activism ideology, the high court decided it is also now the high legislature. Since when did a court get the power to dictate legislation? Courts are supposed to look into the constitutionality of current laws, not reshape them as they see fit. The people of California had decided this issue, and now the court has decided to play state Congress. Gov. Schwarzenegger has now said that he in fact WON'T sign a ban on any gay marriage bill that would come to his desk. After he has said that he WOULD sign such ban.(Although, could we really has expected as much? You don't win the Governorship in California as a Republican unless you're a R.I.N.O.) The California Supreme Court has overstepped its bounds, and now it appears, the only way for the liberals to put in their activist legislation and ideas into working policies is use the good ol' activist court.
