In California the will of the people was voiced in the vote regarding Proposition 8. Now the advocates of same-sex marriage are having a fit and are demonstrating and are planning to try to get the courts to intervene.

If there was a question of legality to this, why wasn't it raised and argued before it went to the voters? If they should succeed in overturning the vote, how far does this go? Then the opponents can also go to the courts and eventually have it taken to the Supreme Court? It gets tied up for years. What kind of of precedent does this set, and how far will it go? If an election doesn't go the way a group wants it to go, they just fight it in court? Then soon we have the judges deciding on elections and not the people.

Part of the democratic process is there will be times where elections on issues or candidates you support (or not support) will not go your way. You just have to deal with it and go on. That's what these people need to do.
