Proponents elected not to call the majority of their
designated witnesses to testify at trial and called not a single
official proponent of Proposition 8 to explain the discrepancies
between the arguments in favor of Proposition 8 presented to voters
and the arguments presented in court.

WHOA!!!
Anyone else see this is as dangerous? Having Judges invalidate laws by trying to get into the minds of the voter themselves. How in Heavens name do you that? Voters have all sort of reasons why they vote on a issue. How does a Judge "Divine" their purpose. How does he "Divine how many had the "correct" motivation and how many had the "incorrect" motivation in his view. Further many many groups , and special interest, and bloggers, etc , etc were involved in this though they might not have been official Proponents.
This actually came up in pre trial and I thought this dangerous notion went away. Guess not.
One of many post on this
