So, no matter your position on the issue - people should stand by the will of the people. When public opinion changes - or if the minority opinion becomes the majority... then by all means, bring it to a vote and make it law. That again, is the entire purpose of this democracy.


Should Utah be able to spend millions upon millions of dollars to impact what happens in California, if it is up to the individual states? I'm not sure where I personally fall on campaign finance, but it does seem unreasonable that Utah disseminated a lot of inaccurate fear-mongering advertisements to change the course of a California election.
