What I don’t understand is, the CA Supremes already ruled that prop 8 could go forward. If it was not legit than why was it allowed to go on the ballot in the first place?

A very astute observation. The same happened in Florida, but the opponents still want to challenge it.
Whatever happens in CA, both sides are currently working on their appeals to the Apellate Courts. The losing side will appeal. This will not end with the CSC.

I've heard otherwise. From the standpoint of the state, there is no higher appellate court than the CSC, unless someone can prove a violation of the U.S. Constitution. For all practical purposes, most federal-level courts are extremely reluctant to wade into a state fray such as this. It's the end of the line - both fortunately and unfortunately.
