How does Proposition 8 NOT Violate Equal Protection Clause of Californias Constitution?

Alright, Im very much into law but there are some things I dont understand fully. Please read the full thing before answering, thanks. In 2008, by 4-3, the Supreme Court of California threw out the ban on same-sex marriage. I know they were dealing with Statutory law (307.5 + Prop 22), and I understand this time its a Constitutional Amendment, which there is a big difference. However, in the 2008 decision, the CA Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage, and gave the Equal Protection clause as a reason why. I know they said in the 2009 ruling that theres still equality since there are domestic partnerships. However, thats not what they said in 2008. I know, once again, its under different circumstances -- but that leads me to 2 questions: 1) It still wouldnt be a revision if CA voters were forced to vote on a ban on Domestic Partnerships. Given that it wouldnt be a revision, if Prop 8 can sit in the constitution w/Equal Protection, than couldnt a ban on Domestic Partnerships sit in the constitution w/Equal Protection beside it too?. Either way, why would it have been sooo difficult to see the 2 clauses as inconsistent with another. Take 2 judges on the Massachusetts Supreme Court For example, when the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled 7-0 a few years ago that a gay marriage ban could be placed on the ballot without reversing a judicial ruling (they said this because it wouldnt ban existing marriages), a couple of judges also said this in their decision if voters had succeeded in altering the state Constitution: Justices John M. Greaney and Roderick L. Ireland: "The only effect of a positive vote will be to make same-sex couples, and their families, unequal to everyone else; this is discrimination in its rawest form. The proposed amendment purposefully discriminates against an oppressed and disfavored minority of our citizens in direct contravention of the principles of liberty and equality protected by Art. 1 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights.If the initiative is approved by the legislature and ultimately adopted, there will be time enough, if an appropriate lawsuit is brought, for this court to resolve the question whether our Constitution can be home to provisions that are apparently mutually inconsistent and irreconcilable." So if someone can answer Question #1 in relation to the above quote. 2) Is it true that a newer constitutional amendment wipes out the effect of the previous one if they conflict?
Answer: A constitutional amendment is by definition constitutional and it is presumed that, where two sections of the constitution conflict, the one most recently adapted takes the force of law. If an amendment were passed banning domestic partnerships, the same reasoning that was made in the most recent CA Supreme Court case would be used to decide that it was not a revision, and would therefore stand.

Gay leaders blame TV ads and Obama for loss in Maine?

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hBQZTCRkDlS7z_xQdkG_Ut9OCdagD9BOVS0O0 "SAN FRANCISCO — Stunned and angry, national gay rights leaders Wednesday blamed scare-mongering ads — and President Barack Obamas lack of engagement — for a bitter election setback in Maine that could alter the dynamics for both sides in the gay-marriage debate. Conservatives, in contrast, celebrated Maine voters rejection of a law that would have allowed gay couples to wed, depicting it as a warning shot that should deter politicians in other states from pushing for same-sex marriage. "Every time the citizens have voted on marriage, they have always sided with natural marriage," said Mathew Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, a Florida-based Christian legal group. "Maine dramatically illustrates the will of the people, and politicians should wake up and listen." Gay activists were frustrated that Obama, who insists he staunchly supports their overall civil rights agenda, didnt speak out forcefully in defense of Maines marriage law before Tuesdays referendum. The law was repealed in a vote of 53 percent to 47 percent. "President Obama missed an opportunity to state his position against these discriminatory attacks with the clarity and moral imperative that would have helped in this close fight," said Evan Wolfson of the national advocacy group Freedom to Marry. "The anti-gay forces are throwing millions of dollars into various unsubtle ads aimed at scaring people, so subtle statements from the White House are not enough." The White House, asked about the criticism, had no immediate comment. The marriage debate is simmering in at least a half-dozen states where a same-sex marriage bill is pending or where a court ruling or existing law is being eyed by conservatives for possible challenge. Had Maines law been upheld by voters, it would have become the sixth state to legalize gay marriage — and the first to affirm it by popular vote. In Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Iowa, gay marriage resulted from court decisions or legislation. California is sure to be a major battleground over the next several years. Last year, conservatives succeeded in winning public approval of Proposition 8, which overturned a state court ruling allowing gay marriage. Gay rights groups want to take the issue back to the voters but are divided on a timetable. In the aftermath of the Maine vote, some California activists appealed to their supporters for money to help them put a measure on the 2010 ballot. Other activist leaders want to wait until 2012. "Its never too early to go back to right a fundamental wrong," said Chaz Lowe of Yes! on Equality, who favors shooting for 2010. "A lot of people are angry, a lot of people are upset. It at least has the potential to be a mobilization for the grass roots." Some California activists said the outcome in Maine strengthened their belief that it will fall to the U.S. Supreme Court — not the voters — to make gay marriage legal. A federal lawsuit challenging Prop. 8 is scheduled to go to trial in January, the first step in a legal journey that is expected to reach the high court in a few years. "The results in Maine underscore exactly why we are challenging Californias same-sex marriage ban," said Chad Griffin, president of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, the Los Angeles group spearheading the lawsuit. "The U.S. Constitution guarantees equal rights to every American, and when those rights are violated, it is the role of our courts to protect us, regardless of what the polls say." The situation elsewhere: _ In New Jersey, the election Tuesday of Republican Chris Christie as governor puts extra pressure on gay rights supporters to win passage of a pending same-sex marriage bill before the legislative session ends in January. Christie says he would veto such a bill, while lame-duck Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat, says he would sign it. _ In Iowa, where the state Supreme Court legalized gay marriage last April, conservatives have no quick way to overturn the ruling. Their only option would be to amend the state constitution through a ballot measure — in 2014 at the earliest — and that effort would need approval from a legislature whose current Democratic leaders dont even want to debate the issue. _ In New Hampshire, conservatives have filed legislation to repeal the states new gay-marriage law and amend the constitution to ban such unions. Kevin Smith, executive director of the conservative Cornerstone Policy Research, said he doubts the measures will pass, but hopes the vote in Maine will give gay-marriage opponents ammunition for the 2010 elections. "It gives us more fodder to go back to people and say, Look, they arent letting you vote on it," Smith said. _ In Washington, D.C., conservatives are trying to force a popular vote on a bill headed toward City Council approval that would legalize gay marriage.

Question about courts and precedents......?

Californias Prop 8 is being challenged in federal court. If this lawsuit is resolved at the initial trial in January............and does not go to the court of appeals................ (obviously not gonna happen, but please entertain my hypothetical situation)........ and the court rules that prop 8 is unconstitutional................ Then: Is gay marriage legal statewide in California for ALL gay couples? or just the particular gay couples who are filing the lawsuit? Heres what Id like to compare this to............. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/17/world/americas/17argentina.html an Argentina court in Buenos Aires ruled that a ban on gay marriage violates Argentinas Constitution. You would think that that means gay marriage is legal all across Buenos Aires. But no........the ruling only applied to one couple. Just the couple that filed the lawsuit. No further precedent existed beyond that case. You would think if the federal courts in California strike down prop 8, then that would set precedent for ALL gays to get married in California. But how is this different from the Argentina situation where they only allowed the ruling to apply to ONE couple?
Answer: It would be for the Court to decide whether to accept the case as a class action or only applicable to the individuals involved. I would hope that it would be treated as a class action.

Is the California Supreme Court filled with liberal activist justices?

As many of you know, the California Supreme Court recently ruled that laws banning same-sex marriages violated the state constitutions equal protection guarantee. Some are now complaining that the California Supreme Court is filled with liberal activist justices, but I wonder if they know that all but one of the current justices were appointed by moderate Republican governors. delujuis: If you had actually bothered reading the post in its entirety, you would have seen that I mentioned the fact that the majority of the justices are Republican.
Answer: Why is it that when a decision is made that skews left, the judges who wrote it are considered "activist" judges, but when a decision is made that skews right, nobody screams about judicial activism? I mean, the Supreme Court Bush v. Gore decision of 2000 was CLEARLY judicial activism.
