Breaking: Texas Supreme Court Allows Proposition To Reverse Obergefell Onto Ballot

January 5th, 2016

Today in a unanimous decision, the Texas Supreme Court ruled that in November, Texans can will be able to vote on Proposition 49, a nonbinding resolution, that would call on the state, and the Congress, to pass an amendment that would reverse Obergefell v. Hodges. Here is the text of the Proposition:

Shall the Congress of the United States propose, and the Texas Legislature ratify, an amendment or amendments to the United States Constitution to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) 135 S.Ct. 2017 and other applicable judicial precedents, to hold that the Constitution does not guarantee a constitutional right to same-sex marriage?

Just kidding. Instead, the California Supreme Court ruled that Californians can vote on Proposition 49, a nonbinding resolution that would call on the state, and the Congress, to pass an amendment that would reverse Citizens United v. FEC. Here is the text of the Proposition:

Shall the Congress of the United States propose, and the California Legislature ratify, an amendment or amendments to the United States Constitution to overturn Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010) 558 U.S. 310, and other applicable judicial precedents, to allow the full regulation or limitation of campaign contributions and spending, to ensure that all citizens, regardless of wealth, may express their views to one another, and to make clear that the rights protected by the United States Constitution are the rights of natural persons only?
