Will of the People

Californians voted to ban gay marriages. However, the will of the people does not rule the land. That's the job of the seven radical Supreme Court Justices. Three lawsuits are allowed to be heard before the court. The lawsuits argue that voters alone did not have the authority to enact such a significant constitutional change.

There was a proposition on the ballot. The people voted on that proposition. That proposition passed.

How is it possible for anyone to think that a majority of people don't have the authority to change government? In May of this year some judges legislated from the bench and allowed gay marriage even after the people voted against it. Why bother voting for something if judges can simply overturn it?

Judges get appointed, not elected, and they have control over our Constitution.
The Secretary of Treasury (Henry Paulson) is appointed, not elected, and has control over the $700 billion ($5 Trillion) bailout.

Am I the only one that sees something wrong with this?
