Here it is in all of its confusing glory. In a nutshell, Rota Hao explains, it's because our constitution sucks -- even Mississippi has a provision in their constitution that says "you can't amend this constitution to take away people's fundamental rights" and we don't have that.
First last week's inane set of budget propositions, now this.
Anyway, thousands of people will gather around the country today to protest the decision and on Saturday, Fresno will become ground center for those rallies.

Brock: that is, of course, the majority's BS argument. And if we have to re-create the California Constitution, I', all for that, albeit, with only input from myself and a group of benevolent intellectuals. Truthfully though, the concurrence and dissent both point out the important fact that it is the Court's job to define more precisely what a revision is. By limiting the definition of revision to the Court's previous case-law, the Court has ignored its role as an adjudicator and interpreter of the California Constitution. One key difference between the US SC and the Cal SC is that our justices can be removed by the electorate--not so in the US SC. So if the people really disagree with the decision, they can replace the justices. I think we all know who the real perpetrator was today: peer pressure.
