> So I've been told that the default of a proposition is that the legislature can't overturn it at all, and the clause allowing a supermajority actually increases the legislature's power.

This isn't about a supermajority clause. No such clause is being discussed.

What he took issue to is the part of the prop that said regardless of any future laws, app-drivers are never allowed not to be subject to any workman's comp laws. The judge ruled that this overbroad language unfairly limited future legislature's powers beyond the scope of the proposition and that such limitation didn't align with the listed reasoning for the proposition. Hence, that was a violation of the law and therefore the whole prop is out.
