Wasn't it these same judges who said that prop 8 was a valid ballot initiative and let it go up for a vote in the first place? Remember the gay community tried to keep it off the ballot ,claiming it was a revision not and amendment , BUT THEY LOST? ,,,So how come these same judges are now going to ‘’REVIEW’’ the validity of the proposition. I don't get it!
They can only review the procedural question: was it a revision or was it an amendment? If they get past that, they cannot pronounce the very document from which the Court derives its authority and powers, unconstitutional. Thus, if its an amendment, the Court has to accept that its holding in the
Marriage Cases was overruled by the voters. And the people in our system of government, are the final judge on what the law means.
