Re: Not a right

Bondsman,

I'm aware that the California electorate decided to revise their constitution in such a way as to make it self-contradictory. They did that in response to a court decision, in which it was found that the answer to that question was "No, such a scope limitation is not valid because it falls afoul of equal protection and it's obvious that we need to start viewing sexual orientation as a suspect class."

So they basically said, 'Oh, the Constitution doesn't allow us to discriminate this way? We've got the perfect solution...' and they put language in that says "We discriminate this way", without taking anything out that was the basis of the decision that no, they can't.
