Rick, you may want to re-read what NWP posted. Yes, one of the issues was whether Prop H8 was a revision or an amendment. After a lengthy, twisted and poor reading of past cases, the court concluded that it would be a revision if it either substantively changed the form of government, as in removing power from one branch of government or another, or, if it substantially affected a fundamental constitutional right.
It went on to explain that use of the term "marriage" -- which as NWP just pointed out the court in its ruling last year had determined was such a "fundamental right" -- was not so fundamental anymore so long as gays had most of the same rights as domestic partners.
In other words, the court directly reversed itself within a year -- a new record -- while disguising its capitulation to hate in page after page of sophistry and tortured logic.
