Government V. the People

Supreme Court Justices 2009

Propostition 8 (or the California Marriage Protection Act) was a ballot proposition and constitutional amendment passed in the November 2008, state elections. The measure added a new provision, Section 7.5 of the Declaration of Rights, to the California Constitution, which provides that "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."-wikipedia

Proposition 8 passed in November 2008 by majority vote. Should the Supreme Court have the right to overturn Californian’s majority vote? Does the potential of this Federal court over ruling lessen the importance of the popular vote?
