The California Supreme Court, voting along the same lines as it did in its original ruling, refused to stay its decision legalizing same-sex marriage in the state. The court did this despite the fact that California voters will have the opportunity in November to vote to limit marriage to a man and a woman, which will overturn the court’s decision. Because of today’s ruling, gay couples will be able to begin marrying on Tuesday, June 17. But what happens if the ballot initiative passes on Nov. 4? Those four California Supreme Court justices must love chaos.

In a 4-3 decision today, the California Supreme Court decided to ignore the wishes of the state’s voters by overturning a ban on gay marriage in the biggest state in the country. According to the Associated Press, one of the three dissenting justices, Marvin Baxter, wrote that he agreed with many arguments of the majority but that the court had overstepped its authority, adding that changes to marriage laws should be decided by the voters. And voters in California may have another chance in November, when a measure that would enshrine laws banning gay marriage in the state constitution could possibly appear on the ballot. The state’s secretary of state still needs to rule whether the measure’s sponsors have enough signatures to place the marriage amendment on the ballot. If the amendment comes to a vote and passes, today’s decision would be voided.
