Indeed. An important take-away from today’s decision on Prop 8 - Elections Have Consequences!
As disappointing as the decision is, this aspect of it makes sense. The choice was that everybody in a state could have standing or that standing is narrow. They choose standing is narrow and overall it makes sense.
The second outcome is a limit on democracy and a victory for representative government. As BT said, “elections have consequences”.
I think this will be litigated again in state court and the outcome may be very different. That’s why the SSM lobby is working overtime in government schools and the media to groom the public.
