The California Supreme Court could have handled this issue in a more procedurally manageable way. The new anti-gay marriage initiative, if passed, is going to create some legal issues for those who get married.

Legal issue affects timings of gay weddings - Yahoo! News

They should have stayed the order until November. If the amendment passes, they will have created a mess. If the amendment fails, as I think it will, then the issue is resolved in California.

Of course, they could make a second run at the amendment, but second runs have an even smaller chance unless something bizarre happens, e.g. some gay marriage riot.
