Yes you are right. This is a constitutional amendment, not just a regular law. So the courts don’t have the authority to overturn it.
The activists are going back to court with a long shot legal argument that this amendment is in conflict with the rest of the Calif. constitution, and the parts of the constitution used by the judges to justify same-sex marriage. It’s a long shot, but since our laws are now made by political correctness, not by the rule of law, anything is possible when this gets back in the courtroom.
The arguments ACLU et al are using in their case are the same ones they used to try to keep this off the ballot before the election. The court rejected the arguments then. Let's see if they respect stare decisis, indeed, their very own opinions! I do not have faith that they will.
