GfS:

You are sticking words into my posts and then refuting them, which is terribly clever, if somewhat onanistic of you.

The narrow majority you speak of was not based on clear reflection, any more than your and Ake's reactions are--they were bought with fear and false advertising that had no solid connection to the central issue. The votes were cast from superstition.

The California Supreme Court has ruled that the process was sufficient to change the state's constitution, but has not made any decision on the merit of the law itself, acceding, as you have, to the will of numbers.

There will be another count, at another time, and we will see who can raise the most persuasive rhetoric. The national Constitution has a thing or two to say about inquality under the law. Pushbuttons or no pushbuttons. Your reactive field of loathing is fated to be over-ridden by a more reasonable voice.
