That was not the choice. The choice presented to them is that the sponsors of the proposition have legal standing and they decided they don’t.

This happened in California before. The state officials refuse to support the will of the people as expressed at the ballot box.

We passed prop187 to restrict benefits for illegal aliens.

Gay Davis refused to defend it in court. That is the biggest contribution to the mess we have been in in Cal even before OB, the hero of benghazi came along.

Another issue. We have the right to an honest election do we not? If the answer is yes, then any citizen with a claim and evidence should have standing to proclaim that right has been violated or to put it more directly, the qualifications were not met by a candidate and that means the election was not legal.

So after Prop. 187 was undefended by the state of CA did the voters amend the proposition law to allow voters to defend the law or organizers of the proposition or both?

Also, the state law wasn't struck down if I understand the ruling. The supporters of a proposition still have standing in CA courts and the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Prop. 8 correct?

Won't this just end up at the CA SC again, eventually?

As to your second point you're essentially calling for democracy, but just in a court of law. Democracy is bad and in and of itself unConstitutional.
