Over at the Ruth Institute, Dr. Jennifer Roeback Morse is offering some commentary on the Prop 8 trial:
Advocates of same sex marriage are so convinced of the rightness of their cause, they believe they only have to accept elections when they agree with the outcome of the elections. This trial itself is not just a trial of Proposition 8. The voters of California themselves are on trial, for having the temerity to vote in favor of natural marriage. When Ted Olson calls the campaign managers of Prop 8 to the witness stand, he is, in effect, calling the voters of California on to the stand. It is every person who voted yes on 8 who is on trial here. Make no mistake about that. . . . Voting invalid unless it conforms to the “national will:” this is not the kind of political system we want to live under.
