SACRAMENTO, Aug. 27 /Christian Newswire/ — In legal briefs submitted to the California Supreme Court, which is considering whether to license “same-sex marriages” next year, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Jerry Brown both stated that a future Legislature could abolish marriage and yank marriage rights from a married husband and wife.
Marriage can be abolished in the future by the California Legislature
BROWN: …the words “marry” and “marriage” have no essential constitutional significance under the California Constitution. Thus, the Legislature could change the name of the legal relationship now known as “marriage” to some other name without any constitutional impediment.
SCHWARZENEGGER: …The Administration submits that use of the words “marry” and “marriage” is not required by the California Constitution. Thus, the name of the legal relationship now known as “marriage” could be changed.

Yikes, I can’t believe they want to do this. Why don’t we just get rid of the words love and God too?

No matter what happens in California, no one is in a position to abolish Marriage.

So if this amendment is passed, won’t that disqualify Schwarzenegger’s own marriage?
