Keep in mind, the State marriage amendments in some of these States passed with over 70% of the vote. Three judges are about to tell a super-majority to jump in a lake.

I suspect that the decision will only affect California, since only California's state supreme court overturned a gay marriage ban.

Not once the Ninth Circuit gets their hands on the case. Their decision is binding on the entire Ninth Circuit. While you are correct in that only Prop 8 would be directly affected, the precedent would be set and any other State marriage law in the Ninth Circuit would also be struck down if the activists rule that the Federal Constitution requires it.
