How so?
It is a state constitutional amendment and voted on by the citizens.

I am not saying I agree, and I am not saying i know the basis. But, a Federal Judge could wrongly decide that such an Amendment, passed by a state, is in violation of the 14th Amendment's "equal protection." Thus, the Judge could rule that the gay state citizen has a Constitutional right to equal protection to the laws and benefits of the State -- including marriage.

Just a theory -- but I would imagine that would be one way a Federal Judge could overturn the Amendment. (Or more likely, issue a stay to ban enforcement.)

I'll be interested to read the decision.
