The people spoke, deal with it.

Thats how I feel.
You're wrong and it don't matter how you feel. The people cannot summarily amend the constitution. There is a process described in the constitution by which amendments can be made.

The way the system works, the judiciary is supposed to have the ability to overturn laws, as part of checks and balance. However, once the law makes it into a constitution, agreed upon by 3/4 of the states, that's it.

So some people have some work to do...

On this issue this is soap opera, I agree that I don't care. This issue is about personal validation and social approval.

I think it is about whether it is OK to have the majority vote on the rights of the minority.

I heard the reason why the measure passed was because of a very large, but silent mormon population within the state.

Either way I think their budget problem is much more comical in my eyes.
