IIRC, the Cal. courts have already overriden the people’s will by referendum, in the case of a proposition that prohibited the provision of social benefits to illegal immigrants. Thus, this Prop 8 would not be the first time. There is precedent. Expect it to happen.

It was a federal , not state, court, that did that.
