The California Supreme Court on Wednesday let stand a new law granting registered domestic partners many of the same rights and protections available to married couples...the high court left intact an appeals court ruling that said that Proposition 22's language is clearly limited to "marriage," (defined as a man and a woman) not domestic partnerships... Opponents of the law said Wednesday they hope to qualify a ballot measure asking voters to overturn the decision.
