3. I hope these protests travel back through time...

When they could have made a difference...

Honestly, giant No On 8 protests on the news nightly for the last couple weeks before the election would have had considerable sway back when sway was possible.

I'm of the opinion that the No On 8 campaign was it's own worst enemy. How badly run do you need to be to have California strip a group of minorities (technically everybody but only a minority who would exert them) a set of constitutionally guaranteed rights. If anything these protests are a sign of why 8 passed. The No camp was all reaction. Yes sent a bunch of cards around saying Barack Obama doesn't support gay marriage and only then did the No people point out that Barack Obama supports voting no. For a proposition that had 70%+ African American support they should have taken the president elects support to the bank early and often.

I'm glad that people are passionate, they should have done this before.

4. If we put the rights of Mormon's to marry within the church...

Maybe they'd feel different about the prospect of putting the rights of a minority up for a majority vote. The Constitution is supposed to protect us from this.
