California Supreme Court to actually consider overturning a constitutional amendment

Has the world gone crazy? Read on and decide for yourself…
 
The primary function of a state’s Supreme Court is to ensure that all laws approved by the legislature and signed into law by the governor are “legal” under the state Constitution (which must also be in accordance with the U.S. Constitution). In other words, all new laws must be “constitutional”, and if in the minds of the Supreme Court justices they are not, they can, and should be struck down. But for the first time ever, a state Supreme Court is actually going to consider striking down an amendment to its state constitution itself!
 
Last November the voters in California overwhelmingly approved Proposition 8 which will amend the California State Constitution to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman only. Several radical groups sued to have Prop 8 overturned however, insisting that such a limit on marriage is unconstitutional. Well here’s a newsflash for those folks: A constitutional amendment cannot be unconstitutional – it’s part of the constitution!
 
But as obvious as this would seem to be, the California Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case anyway, taking judicial activism to an entirely new level. Hopefully, if the state’s Supreme Court rules that the state constitution is itself unconstitutional, common sense will prevail in the end and the U.S. Supreme Court will right this most egregious of wrongs.
