Some legal scholars are saying the Proposition 8 proponents may not have legal standing to appeal today's decision. And the State of California will certainly not.
If that holds true, this would be the end of the line. I don't know if that's true, but it would be wonderful.
I would want the case to go to SCOTUS anyway - because marriage in California is pretty meaningless without federal recognition - but there are already a couple of high-wattages cases against DOMA working their way through the courts right now.
