Prop 8 Question

[Eric Segall]

I am guessing the answer is obvious but can someone tell me how there is 
federal jurisdiction over this case given that the State of California is not 
defending the validity of Prop 8. Could lobbyists defend an Act of Congress 
that the DOJ refused to defend?

Thanks,

Eric
