Has this failed in any state? (none / 0) (#12)

I'm just wondering if any of our liberal states have shot down such an amendment?  If they have, then it will fail in CA too.  

How many states have tried an amendment and how many have failed?  It can fail again!

Ironically... (none / 0) (#25)

...it has only failed in AZ, and the closest it came to failing after AZ was SD.

 So-called "liberal" states have a bad track record on gay rights issues when subjected to a popular vote, not that their conservative cousins are much better.

Letting the states decide (none / 0) (#68)

Sounds like a good idea, but the reality is, people vote against it.  I guess we have to let judges make it law.  The people won't do it.
