I think that the court will uphold prop 8, but they will allow those already married to stay married. It was depressing to listen to some of the questions the justices were asking during the hearing...

How many times do Obama, Biden, Clinton, et al., have to say they are against gay marriage before people finally understand, hey, they are against gay marriage?

If the justices invalidate Prop 8, the other side could initiate a recall campaign to get the judges thrown off the bench. And I'm sure they wouldn't stop there. Even if Prop 8 was unconstitutional, they would surely try again. After all, they keep putting up those anti-abortion ballot measures, even though they're voted down year after year after year.

Let's hope there is a plan to reach communities of color this time around.

Instead of re-creating the wheel, it'd be nice if the Obama campaign folks or the DNC would allow the Courage Campain or Equality California or whomever to use their email list for a one-time message to try to get up to speed with those pre-existing local Obama groups - kinda like the Howard Dean campaign of 2003/2004 lives on through many local Democracy for America groups who take on issues now facing us (another group). Oh well.. politicians and advocacy groups rarely share such email lists.

Also, how will the other side bring it back to the ballot if they need 2/3 of the legislature to enact something like this again?

"There's going to be a ballot battle again soon, no matter which way the Supreme Court rules" Can you go into more detail about this? If the CSC rules that prop. 8 is in fact a revision and throw it out, then the only thing left for the other side would be to try and get this through the legislature. So what would we be putting on the ballot if the CSC rules that 8 was a revision?
