Hate to be pessimistic but caution is in order. This is the CA Supreme Court after all.

They may be setting it up so their (second) overturning of the voters' will appears fair.

I suspect they have made up their collective mind already so procedural issues and who's arguing what won't really matter in the end.

If the Court was persuaded the opponents could win on the merits... or demonstrate likelihood of success, a stay would have been granted. As it is, its very difficult to overturn a constitutional amendment. Sec. 7.5 will take effect as soon as the Secretary Of State has certified the vote next month retroactive to November 5th.

That was my thought. It’s safer to have nothing but cynicism towards that bunch.
