I am not surprised they ruled that the existing marriages could remain.

If they ruled they couldn’t, you have a situation that is in effect creating an unconstitutional retroactive law.

It stinks, but those who got in before Prop 8 just got lucky.

Yeah, it was highly unlikely the courts would reverse themselves in the situtation they themselves created by allowing "same-sex marriages" to take place.
