State statute: when no constitutional interpretation
is possible:
In California, a court can “reform” or rewrite a state
statute to avoid invalidating it on specific constitutional grounds when the
intention of the legislature or the electorate is clear (Kopp v. Fair Political Practices Comm'n, 11 Cal. 4th 607, 615 (1995)). (Macfarlane, Dudovitz, Rowe, California Legal Research, Second
Edition, 2013, p. 5).
