I have seen the future, and it has a repeal in it.
March 7, 2000: California voters pass Prop. 22 (initiative statute). Statewide vote count was:
61.1% "Yes"
38.6% "No"
22.5% margin of victory
Nov. 4, 2008: California voters pass Prop. 8 (initiative constitutional amendment), with the same text. Statewide estimated vote was:
52.5% "Yes"
47.5% "No"
5% margin of victory
Elapsed time required for this near-total erosion of the victory margin: eight years, eight months.
Set your alarms for November 6, 2012 -- if the court challenge doesn't stake this thing through the heart first. The times, they are a changing.
