On November 17, the California Supreme Court ruled unanimously that proponents of a state initiative have standing to defend their initiative in court, if their initiative passes, but a trial court invalidates their measure and the then state government refuses to appeal. Perry v Brown, S189476.
As a result, it is likely that the Ninth Circuit will now begin the process of deciding whether California’s state constitutional provision barring same-sex marriages violates the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. District Court had said the ban does violate the U.S. Constitution, and the 9th circuit had delayed taking up the appeal until the State Supreme Court answered the question about standing for initiative proponents.
Remember the day — almost in the class of 4 July 1776 — DOI day.
