Because the Yes on 8 people managed to mobilize many people of faith, the opponents really dropped the ball and lost as a result.
Short of another constitutional amendment overturning Prop 8, there's not much same-sex marriage proponents can do now. I doubt the USSC would touch this thing at all. If it did and said same-sex marriage was legal, then you'd find opponents pushing for a federal constitutional amendment, which would pass Congress and most of the states like clockwork.
Public acceptance for same-sex marriage is a long ways off, if ever, in this country.
Just in case, Prop 8 supporters are pushing to have THEIR day in court. Meanwhile, a number of legislators don't give a damn if they get booted out of office by the very voters for which they have contempt.
