Prop 8, the Constitutional Whip?

To rule that a voting majority of 8 million plus people, who found it necessary to qualify marriage in the function of state licensing, has no “standing” on an issue the Fed Supreme Court is not even authorized to decide… that has got to be the most bizarre ruling in my lifetime.

Absent the courts for the redress of grievance, what do the people have left? Wasn’t this a Revolutionary era issue as presented in the Declaration of Independence?
