The ruling is that this was not valid because this group had no standing to substitute for the state’s lack of defense.

It's hard to make this case when the California Supreme Ct, Judge Walkers federal court, and the Ninth Circus ALL deemed the defender of Prop 8 has having standing. How did the Supremes go off the rails so badly on this?

Exactly spot on. If there had been judicial integrity here, they should have said “we believe the plaintiff doesn’t have standing to bring this before the Federal Court, therefore, the lower FEDERAL court ruling is vacated on that basis and we refer it back to the state court’s last ruling”.

That would have made their decision intellectually consistent...however, what I am thinking....
