Joe Infranco: “Taking away rights” argument holds no water in Prop 8 case

ADF Senior Counsel Joe Infranco writing at Speak Up Movement / Church: First, the ballot process was started well before the state high court decision redefining marriage . . . the people pursuing the amendment were concerned with the definition of marriage, and not ‘taking away rights’ that did not even exist at the time the effort began . . . How about the ballot summary that supposedly demonstrates the voters’ bad motives? It was changed from its prior neutral description (‘Limit on Marriage Constitutional Amendment’) to the ‘eliminates right of same sex couples . . .’ language by Attorney General Jerry Brown – yes, the same Jerry Brown who refused to defend Prop 8.”
