Calif AG Kamala Harris argues against Prop 8 Supporters defending the Marriage Ban

Kamala ain't playing with the Prop 8 supporters. She filed a brief stating that the opponents should not have the right to defend their foolishness in court.

Here's more:


In it, she argued that only public officials exercising the executive power of government have authority to represent the state when laws passed by voters or the Legislature are challenged.

“California law affords an initiative’s proponents no right to defend the validity of a successful initiative measure based only on their role in launching an initiative process,” Harris wrote.

Harris contended in her brief that rather than empowering citizens, granting the sponsors of initiatives the ability to overrule the governor and attorney general’s judgment “would rob the electors of power by taking the executive power from elected officials and placing it instead in the hands of a few highly motivated but politically unaccountable individuals.”
I greatly appreciate Kamala's firm stance on this issue. I'm glad she is fighting for us.
