Next step: amend the state constitution: California Court Creates Right to Same-Sex Marriage -- 05/16/2008
Conservative organizations, meanwhile, have turned in petitions with more than 1 million signatures in an attempt to get an initiative on the November ballot to amend the state Constitution to define marriage as being between one man and one woman.
If the petitions pass muster, the measure would go on the November ballot. If approved by voters, the amendment would override any court ruling in favor of same-sex marriage. |
If the petition passes muster may be a big if. I know of at least one poster on another forum who claims to have signed and claims to be a foreign national. Don't all signers of such petitions have to be eligible to vote in California? Wouldn't the presence of too many ineligible signatures kill the petition?
