The USSC also will be addressing the backers of Prop 8 had standing to pursue the appeal that resulted in the 9th circuit opionion.

If they say no, I'm not clear on what happens. Is it just that they didn't have standing to appeal? In which the District Court ruling stands but has no weight as precedent?

Or would it mean they didn't have standing to defend Prop 8 at the original trial and the District Court ruling is tossed and has to be repeated (with, once again, the state having no interest in defending it and perhaps no other entity with standing)?
