The Federal Panel hearing the appeal of the Proposition 8 challenge has agreed to put a hold on all same-sex marriages in the state of CA until the case is heard. While Judge Walker's ruling is unlikely to be overturned, the main question at present is whether the Prop 8 supporters can demonstrate that they have standing to appeal the case: as they do not represent the state of California, they are not the entitry being forced to recognize same-sex marriages. If the panel finds they do have standing, then everyone expects this case to eventually go before the Supreme Court.
In any event, as Prop 8 supporters failed to list even a single rational cause for a ban on same-sex marriage, iBear is keeping his fingers crossed that the judicial system upholds the law.
