I agree with the WSJ here. I am a supporter of gay rights but Prop 8 is the will of the people. If the court gets the final say on this then that would be a huge blow to democracy.

I generally follow this line of thinking.  Giving the courts unilateral decision to decide when something has changed to fall under their pervue is kind of a slippery scope.

It would allow a president who stacked the supreme court to bypass congress.

Or a govonor with lesser courts etc.

Orjust a court in general to bypass everyone else.
