When Proposition 8 passed into law, it became Article 1, Section 7.5 of the California Constitution, and the historic definition of marriage was strengthened above the level of family code statutes.  With that in mind, no other definition of marriage in California law should have any purpose or value, right?  So what could be Senator Mark Leno’s (D-San Francisco) motive as the author of SB 906?

Ultimately, the pro-homosexual marriage lobby wants to gain the attention of the courts, to whittle away at Prop 8’s clear and singular definition of marriage.  

However, legislators must attempt to show “the people’s” confusion to the courts, and must therefore create it.  SB 906 is their first step.  Then comes perhaps “religious” marriage, followed by whatever other form of “marriage” deemed necessary for a judge to give the argument consideration. 

As we have come to see, many judges practice an evolutionary interpretation of law, and it is in the courts where long-standing legal precedent is often disregarded, with favor given to more “creative” interpretation.  Senator Leno and his same-sex “marriage” cohorts seek to gain the sympathy of a court to, again, allow argument over traditional marriage’s constitutionality, to revoke the will of the people in our passage of Prop 8. 

Although SB 906 has passed the Senate, it still must pass the Assembly.  If you would like to communicate your opinion of SB 906 to your Assembly representative, click here.

Based on the continued disparity in California’s Legislature, with consistent party-line votes, and the incremental advances of sexual “rights” in law and public schools, I hope you’ll never again wonder whether YOUR vote matters!  Electing godly representatives, and judges who rule according to established precedent, are critically important to our ongoing freedoms and the protection of children.

P.S.  I spent last Friday in a deposition regarding whether the disclosure of donor names during and after the Prop 8 campaign may have prompted harassment, intimidation or threats.  I just wanted you to know that several legal cases are ongoing, with the goal of increased protections from those determined to silence our voices.
