This headline and story is misleading and confusing.

The 9th Circuit is a FEDERAL court, not a "California" court.

Furthermore, the California Supreme Court ruled that Prop 8 IS constitutional.

So, the state ruled it constitutional, and the federal courts overruled it.

Great catch. Have you read either ruling to see which one is stronger? It would be great if SCJ’s could build on the CA SC’s ruling.
