I look forward to the government getting out of the marriage business so that polygamy and polyandry is no longer criminalized.

Prop 8 was funded by a Utah-based religious organization, that has no business being in California politics.
Take that for what you will.

This.
The Mormons in UTAH threw more money against this proposition than all the other backers combined.

What astonishes me is how many think that this is a good thing?
For the record I do support gay marriage. The reasons to allow it outweigh the reasons against it. But it must come from the Legislature. There is no other way.
What happened here today was a federal court (with a long sordid history of similar behavior) overturned a states constitutionally protected sovereignty and created state law from the federal bench. They overturned legitimate state constitutional actions with absolutely no basis or precedent beyond "we think so". This is NOT how we are governed. Just because the outcome may be what a lot of people want does not in any way legitimize this process or this courts actions. The state of California and more directly the people of California had spoken on this issue. Right or wrong. It was within their sovereign rights to do so. Just as it was within New Yorks sovereign rights to choose to legislatively change the existing laws and allow such an evolution of societal mores.
Such a profanity theory. A state cannot violate your 14 amendment rights just because they want to and they have some states-appointed sovereign right to do so.
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
“Although the Constitution permits communities to enact most laws they believe to be desirable, it requires that there be at least a legitimate reason for the passage of a law that treats different people differently,†Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote in the decision. “There was no such reason that Proposition 8 could have been enacted.â€
I wonder how Judge Reinhardt feels about affirmative action, among other topics where the law "treats different people differently."
See, this game is fun...

Minor clarification- you're right that they threw all kinds of money at it, but it was to pass it - as the goal of Prop. 8 was to ban gay marriage.

Well isnt it discrimination against islam to not allow 4 wives? This certainly opens the door for that argument.
