  Actually the plural of anecdote is data. Sort of.

"Anecdote" is from Greek: an (not) ec (out) dote ("given;" the past participle of Greek didónai, meaning "to give"). Taken all together it means "unpublished item" ("not given out").

And data is are the plural of "datum" (past participle of Latin "dare", pronounced dah-ray, meaning "to give").

So the "dote" part of anecdote means "a given thing" and is indeed the singular of "data" which means "given things."

/ an-ec part means "what a terrible thing to lose"

"I think what you are overlooking is the very broad powers of the people to amend the Constitution," she said.

    So then it IS an amendment.

The California State Constitution CANNOT be amended by a simple majority vote.

Therefore Proposition 8 is invalid, because it is an amendment, which cannot be accomplished by a simple majority vote.

If you're going to mince words, then at least mince them in the direction that makes it sound like you agree with your own self.

If the California Supreme Court now declare that the Constitution can be amended by a simple majority vote, and a margin  of FOUR PERCENT at that, but only when it hurts faggots and not other people, then they are pathetic cowards.

This was never the case before. But it's okay now because the minority whose rights are being taken away by an ILLEGAL process is faggots.

Now if it was somebody else's rights that were being taken away by an illegal process, then that would be, well, illegal!
