Supreme Court: California Prop 8

I can't believe what I've read: This is from proponents of "traditional marriage" (what ever that is):

“The Court’s decision allows the executive branch to effectively veto any duly enacted law, simply by refusing to defend it against a constitutional challenge,” said Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council.

That doesn't actually paint the real picture. Within the states, challenges to state law are managed by the states, elevating internal state disputes to the supreme court is a violation of "states rights."
