Liberty Counsel Files Initial Argument to Protect California’s Marriage Amendment / Free Pastors Policy Luncheon
www.LC.org
Liberty Counsel filed a preliminary opposition with the California Supreme Court explaining why the Court should not consider petitions seeking to overturn the California Marriage Protection Act (Proposition 8). The Court has asked each party to provide these today. Liberty Counsel is representing Campaign for California Families.
Liberty Counsel argues that the Court should dismiss the petitions because Proposition 8 is an amendment that was properly enacted by the voters of California through an initiative, and is not a “revision” that needs the Legislature’s approval, as same-sex marriage advocates claim.
Liberty Counsel also argues that the Court should deny the petitions because they threaten the people’s right to amend the Constitution by initiative, which is a right reserved to the people in the California Constitution.
