The court rarely takes up legal challenges to a ballot measure before an election, and could consider the same issue in another lawsuit if the measure passes. Unfortunately this ruling does not establish a precedent and expect another challenge if Prop 8 passes. The court for now declined to address the substance, likely because before Prop 8 passes the parties involved lacked standing to bring a lawsuit, since they had not yet been harmed.

“harm” in the liberal playbook means getting your feelings hurt. I think the court might agree.
