California Supreme Court Decision

California Supreme Court Decision

Most people and the news accounts misunderstand the defining decision by the California Supreme Court on the controversial Proposition 8 that the justices had expected would please everybody. The court ruled in a decision, with one dissent, to require marriage without sex as their way of upholding Proposition 8. This really simplifies the thought process of the ruling and they really needed that. The ruling stated that there would be no heterosexual or same sex marriage, just no sex marriage and Proposition 8 became a moot point. It stated that all procreation of Californians must take place in Arizona, Nevada, Oregon or offshore on a cruise ship. Of course there are the citizens in California who are married that wouldn’t abide by the court’s decision and they are probably the same ones who were sneaking around on their parents when they were teenagers. If you are not married, the ruling doesn’t affect you because we’re talking marriage here. The ruling also mandated that the state create the Commission on Marriage Without Sex with highly paid commissioners and an enforcement force that will patrol neighborhoods with advanced technological snooping devices at night to root out scofflaws. There is debate whether the system of penalties and fines will follow that for offenders of using their cell phone in their car or that for those who run red lights. The photo enforcement techniques developed for red lights are expected to be used in the enforcement of the ruling and the photos are expected to offer compelling evidence in a court of law. There is hope that there will be federal stimulus money coming to the state to help curb the stimulus.
