Interesting thread for this site but let me weigh in as a retired lawyer. I think the court overturned one of those referendums that CA is so famous for. The state constitution, once amended cannot be overturned by the 9th Circuit (federal court) unless they find that banning gay marriage is a violation of the U.S. Constitution. Which, of course, would never withstand a challenge to the U.S. Supreme Court. But the bottom line is that there's probably a lot of litigation ahead and more wasted money that the taxpayers are ultimately responsible for.
I'm opposed to gay marriage.........haven't they suffered enough?!!
