The ballot measure repeals Proposition 8, which California voters approved in 2008 to define marriage as between a man and a woman in the state's constitution, stripping same-sex couples of the legal right to marry.
this will be used as a test case to force the CA government to comply with something that openly conflicts with and violates the CA constitution
CA will be legally forced to comply.
Problem with your theory: there’s nothing at a federal level saying California cant mandate that, at least not yet. They’d need to overturn OvH AND pass something federally that says it’s explicitly not allowed, else California can do as it pleases
Whether other states recognize it is no longer guaranteed, though, thats the big thing it being federally legal forced

Yea. Most of the Republicans schtick is more states rights and handles things at a state level.
But they’re fucking lying! Surely you see that by now.
