On <entity_3>, the <entity_0> ruled in a 4–3 decision that laws directed at gays and lesbians are subject to strict scrutiny and same-sex couples' access to marriage is a fundamental right under Article 1, Section 7 of the California Constitution. The <entity_4> <entity_1> was in part mooted by Strauss v. Horton, 46 Cal.4th 364 (2009), which was itself mooted by Hollingsworth v. Perry (2013). In a one-page Resolution, the <entity_0> on June 4, 2008, denied all petitions for rehearing and to reconsider the <entity_3> ruling, as it removed the final obstacle to same-sex marriages starting on June 17. Chief Justice <entity_2> and Justices Joyce Kennard, Kathryn Mickle Werdegar, and Carlos Moreno voted against reconsideration, while voting to reconsider the <entity_4> were Justices Marvin Baxter, Ming Chin, and Carol Corrigan.
