Cogdill Decries Supreme Court Decision On Gay Marriage

Sacramento, CA -- Senate Republican Leader Dave Cogdill blasted the Supreme Court's decision today which states that California's ban on gay marriage is illegal.

The effect of that law would not take effect for 30 days.

Cogdill is quoted as saying, "California voters spoke loud and clear (Proposition 22) that they believe marriage is between a man and a woman. This disappointing ruling gives activist judges a louder voice than the people of this great state. A constitutional amendment to overturn this ruling will now undoubtedly qualify for the ballot giving Californians another opportunity to maintain the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman."
