The judge did not overrule the State Constitution (see here for the text of the ruling), but theoretically it would be within the purview of a state judge to overrule a provision of a state constitution based on the U.S. Constitution (assuming that the judge sta on a court of general jurisdiction).

Too many judges are striking down too many laws enacted by people's elected representatives.

We are devolving into a judicial tyranny.

We need to impeach judges and impeach often if this nation is to have any chance of surviving.

I understood that. Proposition 22 was an initiative statute. The question was one of legal principle.

but theoretically it would be within the purview of a state judge to overrule a provision of a state constitution based on the U.S. Constitution (assuming that the judge sta on a court of general jurisdiction).

Upon what authority?
