culture blurb...Baxter dissent

from California Catholic Daily: “..a bare majority of this court, not satisfied with the pace of democratic change, now abruptly forestalls that process and substitutes, by judicial fiat, its own social policy views for those expressed by the People themselves.” Despite the “strong weight of state and federal law and authority,” the majority, said Baxter, “invents a new constitutional right, immune from the ordinary process of legislative consideration.”
