How easily can an new Prop in 2010 over-rule Prop 8?

[CatholicEdHead]

NBC Nightly news clearly showed a movement towards more acceptance with each election cycle (2000: 30% or so and 45% in this cycle).

Can you create a new Proposition in 2010 that removes Prop 8 from the CA Constitution? Given the voting trends it has a good chance of passing in two more years.

Or does California law not work that way?

1. Seems as if it ought to work that way

If the courts uphold this mess, a similar proposition to get rid of this mess ought to work.

2. Prop 8 is basically a rewrite of prop 22 from 2000 which was ruled unconstitutional within the...

last year or so. If recycling is allowed, I can't figure why your idea wouldn't work.

3. tell people these props are nothing but LDS propaganda and promoting tools nt

4. Once the Constitution has been amended

in CA, as it has with Prop 8, you must revise the Constitution in order to change changes made by an amendment.

A revision requires a Constitutional convention and 2/3 vote of the State legislature in order to be put to a vote by the electorate.

But first the electorate has to vote on a ballot initiative as to whether or not to call a Constutional convention.

5. Does this also mean that it can't be ruled unconstitutional?

Because it doesn't make sense that an amendment to the Constitution can be challenged on the basis of its constitutionality.

7. Wow, so that means it is really easy to get on but extremely tough to get off

:wtf: :banghead:

6. I do not understand why we have to wait until 2010. I have voted against

what was called Proposition 4 this cycle a total of THREE times since I moved here in 2006.

Proposition 4 was the parental notification for abortion proposition. It has failed all three times that I have voted against it.
