Proposition 4 lost in California, which leads me to believe that the prop 8 wording |
|
may have confused voters
i.e. Voting yes to take away rights, voting no to maintain rights
I also don't think that prop 8 will stand as Constitutional

1. No, the prop couldn't have been worded clearer |
|
"Eliminate right of same-sex partners to marry..."
People knew what they were voting for.

2. To you and I it is clear, but people aren't always the brightest. Yes, to eliminate rights? |
|
Anyway, it is just my take, or perhaps trying to give my state the benefit of the doubt, and like I said before I can't see this as being Constitutional anyway

4. I hope California watches it's new wedding industry dry up and die. |
|
I am very bitter about prop 8 right now.

3. No the wording was not confusing |
|
It reflected EXACTLY what it proposed to do: Take away a legally protected right for a portion of the citizenship.
