Elections can't overturn everything. You know that. This case will decide, in part, whether the rights of homosexuals can be removed by a vote of the people (effectively deciding if they are a protected class under California's Constitution). That isn't entirely clear. There is also a procedural aspect to the case which the judges will decide. There are several examples in history that even you would acknowledge involved a judge properly revoking the will of the people because their will was opressive/unconstitutional.
