      <![CDATA[Dear Mr. Humes:<br>
<br>
  Thank you for botching your case. Those of us who abominate the very idea of gay marriage revel in the irony of the of the AG's office sabotaging the very argument they advanced.

      <![CDATA[Dear Mr. Humes:<br>
    <br>
    Please be assured that the decent, God-fearing people of this State- you know, the ones with families, who slapped your elitist social engineering project down in November-- were laughing with glee at the monumental incompetence of the AG's pathetic waterboy/designated-faller-upon-his-own-sword at the hearings.<br>
    <br>
    Moonbeam betrayed the trust of the people who pay his salary, but then Moonbeam has a long history of betraying foundational moral principles of those to whom he has asserted his loyalty.<br>
    <br>
    Please also be assured that we will not forget those in the AG office who likewise betrayed our vote, and we will be very sure to take advantage of every opportunity to frustrate the future political ambitions of each and all of them.<br>
    <br>
    After all, if you guys are prepared to oppose the people of California's sovereign right to amend their constitution WHILE IN THEIR PERSONAL EMPLOY, it is a very safe bet that you represent a clear and present danger to democracy and you ought to be voted out of any office for which you run, and fired from any office to which you might in future be appointed.<br>
    <br>
    And finally, let me say: congratulations to Justice Starr, who made your team look like the botch-jobbers they truly are.

      <![CDATA[With all due respect to Mr. Humes, the Deputy Attorney General looked completely out of his league. What ever point he was trying to make was lost and instead only undermined the arguments of the other plaintiffs.

      <![CDATA[<br>
    Robert Gammon&#146;s assertion that the Attorney General&#146;s ringing defense of same-sex marriage in the Proposition 8 case was somehow harmful to gay rights is utter nonsense. Attorney General Brown has worked tirelessly to strike down Proposition 8 because he believes it to be discriminatory and unconstitutional.<br>
    <br>
    In 2008, the California Supreme Court concluded that the fundamental right of liberty contained in Article I, section 1 of the state constitution includes the right to form the enduring relationship called marriage and that it cannot be denied to same-sex couples.
