If someone is against judicial review of this sort, why wouldn't that person also be a strong supporter of prop 8, since it was essentially an effort to restore the original will of the majority which had been usurped by judges?
How does this review differ from the earlier review?

My understanding is that the previous initiative (Prop 22 in 2000) was a statutory change, while Prop 8 was a constitutional amendment. Those are two very different types of law.
I don't (and didn't) oppose the judges' rights to review Prop 22, though I think they came to the wrong decision, in a 4-3 vote I might add.
