” violated the state’s constitution”

What about the U.S. Constitution? They cannot add additional requirements beyond that.

The “law” was so obviously unconstitutional that even the California Supreme Court had to strike it down.

No cajones here. They fully understood how they would be slapped down in federal court where this would not have even made it out of the Ninth Dist, let alone SCOTUS.And some of these robes have hopes of better positions with the Fed bench.

the california law was PATENTLY OBVIOUSLY NOTORIOUSLY unconstitutional and everyone could see it

but it is still great that a Commiefornia court was willing to obey the constitution this once

good job, court! (now, how about overturning all of CA’s ‘gun control’ laws, too....?)
