Constitutional Connection: Article 3, The Judicial Branch
Explanation: In this article a federal district court judge in California said that banning gays & lesbians from marrying as unconstitutional. Later on the Supreme Court will have to step in and settle the dispute whether it is unconstitutional or not. They will either uphold or reverse the district court's decision in the Proposition 8 case. The Supreme Court's job is to settle disputes that involve something in the constitution.
I feel that gays & lesbians should be able to marry. Who has the right to tell someone who to love & who not to love. Who to be with for the rest of their life & who not to. I feel that every state should want its citizens to be happy & if that means being married to someone of the same sex so be it. The state of California should be ashamed of making people decide to go against someones beliefs & feelings. What if gays said it was unconstitutional for straight people to be married to someone of the opposite sex, then what would be said. In that case they are only dishing out what is dished to them.
Daushay--these posts appear to be good and relevant. My only issue is that you needed to include the specific text from the constitution that you're discussing in each post.
