But I wish I was not an 80s wrestling fan.

And quite possibly be the first Black woman president.

Her mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan was born in India. Kamala is a name for goddess Laxmi.

Sounds good to me!

Matt McLaughlin is a stupid prick that should be disbarred.

This puke wants me and many of my immediate and extended family dead? Well fuck him he needs to be put out to sea in a row boat.

California's initiative process contains provisions for two different kinds of initiatives. Constitutional initiatives change the state constitution, while statute initiatives change state law. Constitutional initiatives require 585,000 signatures to get on the ballot, while statute initiatives only require 365,000.

The so-called "Sodomite Suppression Act" is written as a statute initiative that wants to add laws to the penal code to criminalize homosexuality. The problem is, the proposed initiative contains several items that would override protections built into the state constitution. That means it's a constitutional initiative, and not a statute initiative.

Ergo, the guy is a dumbass who isn't even capable of formatting his hatemongering initiative properly. Because his proposal overrides the state constitution on several points, it needs to be written as a proposed constitutional amendment. As it's currently written, it's not even a valid initiative. I'm not sure why the measure hasn't already been rejected on that technicality alone.

Taking it to court based on the content is a losing battle. Attempts have been made to stop propositions based on their content and impact before, and they have failed. The courts have pretty much universally agreed that our initiative system means that it's "up to the voters". Because Prop 7 created an initiative system that made propositions equal to the courts, legislature, and governor in stature, the state courts simply lack the authority to prevent propositions from making it to the ballot (though they do have the authority to strike down unconstitutional statute amendments after the fact).

California Constitution. Plus he'd have to likely rewrite portions of it as well. It's a good thing that the guy is as stupid as a corn nut.

Plus on any initiative you have to add about 10-20% to account for possible errors, so he probably needs closer to 700,000. It will never happen.

anyone from the "wrong" Church, etc.

I'm torn about this. On the one hand, one's natural reaction is to expose this horrible bigotry, partly so that people are aware of this specific proposal and more broadly because it shows the mask ("protect traditional values", etc.) slipping from the ugly true face of homophobia. On the other hand, as DUers have pointed out, it's unlikely that the measures proponent(s) will actually invest the time and money necessary for a serious attempt to get the signatures; it's still less likely that, even if they do, they'll succeed in getting on the ballot; it's extremely unlikely that it would pass; and inconceivable that it would survive judicial scrutiny.

McLaughlin pays a $200 filing fee and gets incalculably more than that in free advertising for his hatemongering.

The court will order her to allow the signature gathering and people will know she tried to kill it.

I was kinda looking forward to seeing him try to collect signatures. He will get his ass kicked more than once.

Sometimes its best to let these people have their say so it can be demonstrated just how thin their support is.

These yahoos keep accusing the Government of trying to put them on a list. Wouldn't it be ironic if they created the list for us?

disappearance.

...would be some of the signature gatherers trying to get this abomination on the ballot.

So, for the sake of those ignorant, bigoted freaks, let's all hope that the AG's request to the Court will be granted.

that he's calling for a modern witch hunt and it could backfire on him by someone falsely pointing out that he's a closet gay. Let him try to get out of that when a mob is ready to set him on fire.

Why is it that all of a sudden, idiots like this loser, homophobe galore, are propping up like weeds.

Desperation. Behind the florid delusions, they know deep down they're on the losing side of history

is the fact that only a very very very small minority of gay haters would actually agree that they should be all killed. Most people have relatives or friends that are gay, or they believe "thou shalt not kill" from their religion or just common fucking sense. This would NEVER pass, even in Arizona!
