Yes, that is true. I'm not saying what will happen but what could happen by leaving this settled at the District court level. And regardless of how likely it is that it would happen, it could happen.

If, by whatever means, California once again banned gay marriage it would be a new legal issue and you might get a judge that says "Judge Walker already handled this one" or you might get a judge that says "Judge Walker's a wanker and babbled nonsense."

But I agree it is unlikely to happen any time soon. Though isn't it the Secretary of State that has to approve ballot initiatives, not the Attorney General? If elected, I don't see Damon Dunn (or Steve Cooley if it is the Attorney General) throwing themselves in front of a train to prevent another version of Prop 8 getting on the ballot.
