1. Buh bye Prop 8.

What SCOTUS didn't do, 9th Dist Court of Appeals can do.

CAN DO!!!!

2. SCOTUS opened the door and good to see the 9th take the opening so quickly.

3. Updated: Well, the way I understand it, the 9th already ruled.

With the failure of standing it's kicked back to the district appeals court which had already ruled. All they had to do was issue an injunction, or something, forbidding the Prop. IANAL.

It could quickly become a done deal.

On edit: all the 9th district had to do was lift their stay imposed upon appeal to SCOTUS. When that appeal failed due to standing, the stay became moot. Lifting the stay then became a routine matter.

4. They put a stay on their ruling until the SCOTUS made their decision. Yeah, the lack of standing

sent it back to the 9th. Earlier they couldn't forbid the Proposition but did rule that it was unconstitutional. Gov. Brown and AG Harris refused to appeal. That's when that private citizen appealed to SCOTUS. The 9th put a stay on their ruling while SCOTUS reviewed the appeal for standing.

Now it's a done deal.

5. Yup, I updated my post.

Got the words wrong a couple of times but I got it right, finally, I think.
