	FindLaw's Writ - Amar: Same Sex Marriage and the California Constitution
		Under federal constitutional law, courts evaluate gender-based classifications under a somewhat stringent, but not entirely skeptical, form of analysis known as "intermediate scrutiny." But under California constitutional law, courts must apply "strict scrutiny" to gender classifications, just as they would to race-based classifications.
		The twist is that one of the key California statutes under attack - that defines marriage as between a man and a woman - took the form of a state voter initiative in 2000.
		The people of California do enjoy, to be sure, a right to "alter and abolish" their state constitution in any way that does not violate the federal Constitution.

	Kearneyism in California - by Viscount James Bryce

		Now the Republicans are in California, as they would themselves say, the moderate or conservative party, or as their opponents said, the party of the rich and the monopolists.
		Professing hearty loyalty to the new Constitution, the majority showed this loyalty by keeping well within the letter of that instrument, while the working men and farmer members were disposed to follow out by bold legislation what they called its spirit.
