   IAW your state constitution, it’s gotta be initiated via petition for a repeal. Gotta show just cause and legal precident why the decision was wrong. Could also move for it to be bumped up to a higher court. Since the voters have already spoken, you’re outta gas on that unless you wait for them to all die first. Majority rules, remember?

   It is not legal because people voted against it in 2008. I think the state Supreme Court has yet to hear the case so who knows. We have to wait and see and put it on the ballot again this year.

   the constitution needs to be amended to allow for it. this can be done through a ballot initiative, or through the legislature.

   there is also an appeal of the old prop. 8 case working its way through the federal courts, so that might ultimately result in the repeal of the law. i believe oral arguments for that case start at the federal trial court tomorrow, and it will probably work its way to the supreme court within a few years.

   The state supreme court would have to step in ad declare it unconstitutional. It does not matter what the people voted on if it is unconstitutional. The way to prove it is unconstitutional is to bring facts to the case that can be proven. One example would be where a person has had a will overturned. For example Sally leaves Susan her lesbian lover all her possessions in her will when Sally passed away. Sally’s family had went to court to have the will overturned and all of Sally’s possessions went to her family instead of Susan. If Sally was legally married to Susan the court would not have overturned the will. Another example would be Sally was refused admission to visitation rights when she went to see Susan in the hospital because the hospital said Sally is not family. If Sally was legally married to Susan than the hospital could not stop Sally from visiting Susan. Sally’s father was able to visit Susan and Sally was refused visitation. That would be a case of discrimination and you can see now how the law needs to be overturned by the California supreme court.
