But a "right" conveyed or created by statute (as opposed to, say, the constitution) can then be taken away simply be repealing or amending the statute. Not much of a right.
I guess whether or not a legal right is "much of a right" is personal opinion. I very happily enjoy many of my legal rights.

Nope. California could not authorize or ban gay marriage (quotes?) if doing so conflicted with existing law, unless, of course, they repealed the existing law first.
