Yep. Apparently, we, the voters, did not have standing?
Is that right?

The State of California refused to defend it, therefore the plaintiffs had no standing.

What’s maddening is that CA has a law that says the people who are responsible for a ballot initiative, such as Prop 8, may defend it in court when the State refuses to do so. The people had standing in CA to defend it but not in federal court.
