I haven't read it, but even if it is a state constitutional matter, if it borrows too heavily from federal constitutional principles, it's conceivable that the U.S. Supreme Court will take the case. If we amend our state constitution, that would have to be challenged at the federal constitutional level. Since the Lawrence v. Texas majority is still on the court, it could go well, although it might take a couple of years to get that far.
