The California Court left two classes, those gays who are married and those who cannot get married. Big mistake, as Ted Olson will take this to the SCOTUS and win based on the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.

Couldn't a federal judge just as well rule that the California Supremes made a mistake by misreading the plain intent of the Proposition, and invalidate those homosexual "marriages" that the California Supremes erroneously left in force? "Equal Protection" problem solved!

Well, that would just be too easy now, wouldn’t it?

Yes, but that would be up to Justice Kennedy and I don’t see him taking that status away from the current people.
