The most important case for Californians in the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2014-15 term didn’t come out of any California court. It didn’t come out of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, either.
Nor did it have anything to do with health care or marriage. King v. Burwell, the case challenging the federal health care exchange, didn’t apply to California or the 13 other states with their own health care exchanges. And while a different decision in Obergefell v. Hodges might have temporarily brought Proposition 8 back into force, it would have no doubt been short-lived, with California polls showing marriage equality well past the 60 percent popular support mark some eight years after its passage.
