A 3-judge “motions panel” today overruled district court Judge Vaughn Walker’s decision to invalidate the voter-approved Proposition 8. It will remain the law of California on marriage pending further Federal review.

Proposition 8 won a 52% to 48% California victory in November 2008, with critical support coming from Black voters around the state.
