Prop 8 in California is dead. the only thing I can say about that is, thou it was stupid to have as a law, people voted on it and it shows what ever we vote on, a judge can override it, that scares me. Judges are not suppose to have that power.
Given time, and another vote, prop 8 would have been shot down by the voters
You are wrong, that is EXACTLY the powerr that judges are supposed to have.

If they did not have it then the will of the people could violate the right rights of any minority simply by pushing a "majority rule", "democracy" bullshit argument.

If all the black and hispanic folks got together and voted that white people's votes only count 2/5s of a vote, it is that judge that stands between YOU and enslavement.
