Prop 8 Update

[athelind]

We've been catching the anti-Prop 8 ads lately, so I'm slightly mollified. It's possible we'd been fast-forwarding through them (since we watch pretty much everything time-shifted via DVR): they're kind of innocuous, since the only one we've seen is two woman sitting at a table having a Serious Conversation.

I seriously hope this thing doesn't pass. It's an AMENDMENT to the state constitution, so I think it needs more than a simple majority.

Shit, I was wrong. Amendment-By-Initiative only needs a simple majority.

It would need (I forget) either 3/4ths or 2/3rds to pass via the legislature, but they can circumvent that by submitting it as a ballot initiative, by which it needs only a simple majority.
