Midknight Review -- new and revised: Those who would destroy the notion of marriage will have to wait until 2012 to change that legal opinion.

Editor's notes: In 2000, Californians voted 2 to 1 to limit the legal definition of marriage to the union of one man and one woman. In 2006, this law was approved by California's Supreme Court. Today marked the end of a 150 period in which signatures had to be collected in order to call for another election. Over the last three months, we (here in California) have heard nothing but news concerning the comprehensive change of attitude regarding gay "marriage" only to find out there was so little interest in the issue that the gay caucus could not even get enough signatures to put the issue on the ballot. 38 States have had a popular vote on the matter and in every case, without exception, the proposition failed.

(Reuters) - A challenge to California's gay marriage ban failed on Monday to qualify for the 2010 ballot, leaving gay activists mulling a 2012 push and hoping a federal court will overturn the measure before then.

Los Angeles-based Love Honor Cherish carried out a volunteer-driven signature-gathering effort after large groups decided there was not enough time to ensure victory this year, even with some polls showing more than 50 percent support for same-sex marriage.

A 150-day period to gather signatures to place the question on the ballot ended on Monday.

Courts and state legislatures have legalized same-sex marriage in five U.S. states and the District of Columbia, but popular votes have always rejected such unions, which are illegal in the vast majority of U.S. states.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
