Why put that step in there in the first place? Why didn't the founding fathers trust the will of the majority without having the laws voted on directly by the people?
I don't like the referendum and constitutional amendment procedure in California, but that's the way it is, and I have to live with it.
What happens in two years when the California constitution is amended again, this time to allow gay marriage? Will you be satisfied that it's the will of the people?
