State Senator Scott Wiener expressed concerns that the U.S. Supreme Court could reverse its decision on same-sex marriage, similar to the reversal of Roe v. Wade, saying, 'That language is still in there. It's not enforceable today. It's a dead letter ... But if the court was able to overturn its decision on same-sex marriage, then that dead-letter language would come back to life.' This underscores the precariousness of such rights and the importance of Proposition 3 in securing them definitively.
Proposition 3 aims to eliminate the outdated language from the constitution that states, 'only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California,' replacing it with affirming the 'right to marry is a fundamental right.' This proposal signifies not only a legal correction but an urgent necessity to protect against possible future shifts in judicial interpretation that could jeopardize marriage equality.
