Interesting fact of the case: one of the plaintiffs is the son of an interracial couple that moved to California in 1966 when California was the only state whose courts had declared laws prohibiting interracial marriage to be unconstitutional.

Where did you get this?

In 1966, CA was not the only state where interracial marriage was legal.

This from eugenicswatch.com:

In all, 30 states passed anti-miscegenation laws that stayed on the books until the advent of the civil rights movement. Of these, 16 kept their laws on the books until the Supreme Court threw them out in 1967: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. Another 14 states passed anti-miscegenation laws, but repealed them in the 1950s or 1960s: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.

Wow, that list sounds vaguely familiar...
