How would you know that rights the constitution explicitly grants? You haven't read it. It sounds to me like rights granted by the constitution with respect to the ability of the people to amend via referendum are limited. If this is true, and the courts decide that prop 8 is unconstitutional, then it seems entirely possible that they will have done so in a constitutionally acceptable way.
In other words, you are mistaken.
