While I was not a supporter of Prop 8, I am very much against the CA Supreme Court overturning it. To me, that is a kind of judicial activism that negates all common sense.

Essentially declaring a constitutional amendment unconstitutional.

Maybe, it could be argued, it is too easy to change the constitution in CA. Fair enough. Change the way the constitution can be amended in the future.

I would be sympathetic to removing the justices who would vote to overturn the amendment.
