MARRIAGE EQUALITY GROUP ASKS CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT TO REMOVE NOVEMBER SAME-SEX MARRIAGE BAN INITIATIVE

BY JULIA CHEEVER

A marriage equality group asked the California Supreme Court in San Francisco today to remove from the November state ballot an initiative that would ban same-sex marriage.
 
Equality California argued in a lawsuit filed directly in the high court that the measure would be a state constitutional revision, not an amendment, and would therefore require more elaborate procedures for passage.

While a constitutional amendment can be enacted by a voter initiative alone, a proposed revision must be approved by two-thirds of each house of the Legislature before being submitted to state voters.
Lawyers for the civil rights group wrote that the initiative slated for the Nov. 4 ballot is a revision because it would “alter the underlying principles on which the California Constitution is based.”
The measure would change the document “by severely compromising the core constitutional principle of equal citizenship (and) depriving a vulnerable minority of fundamental rights,” the lawsuit alleges.

Attorney Stephen Bomse said, “We filed this lawsuit because the sponsors of the initiative haven’t followed the very constitution they’re trying to change.

“For good reason, there’s a strict process for making revisions to our constitution and it’s more involved than simply collecting petition signatures,” Bomse said.

I'm so very certain bk tuned in last evening to see the latest tweenage pop senation Jonas Brothers in CAMP ROCK! And Disney is getting a lot of mileage out of it:

Friday Night - Disney Channel (set viewing record)
Saturday Night - ABC
Sunday Night - ABC Family

I actually enjoyed it (advantage of going in with low expectations).

Der Brucer, I am now going to have to dig out my Forbidden Broadway CD that has the number "How Are Things In Irish Drama?" after seeing "The Beauty Queen of Leenane," last night.  Let me say that this production was very good and my friend Kim, whom I have only seen in comedies, was very, very good as the daughter.  The mother was good too, but Kim is my friend, so I think she was better. ;)

But I laughed, and laughed - "Burn her again, burn her again, she deserves it!"

The professional musicians amongst us will probably find this item from today's NY Times quite interesting!  :)

Well, it seems when Igor and Victor Vinnie and Bruce are in the lab, they always seem to find enough proper pieces to assemble a near perfect whole.
