Prop. 8 passed by 52% in 2008.

The reason they haven’t used another popular vote to repeal it is because they are hoping for a broad opinion from the courts that will reach farther than CA, in my opinion.

If the guys in black robes fail them, then look for another popular vote. As far as the state is concerned, 50% +1 of the popular vote defines what a marriage can be. It was always a danger.

RE: Prop. 8 passed by 52% in 2008.

Notice that a mere 8 years earlier, Proposition 22 passed by 61% ( in 2000 ).

The trend in California is not the friend of supporters of traditional marriage.

Something seems to be happening to the population of California in the past decade....
