Twice during the oral argument, Kennedy questioned why the court had voted to hear the California case. “I wonder if this case was properly granted,” Kennedy said at one point."

The California Supreme Court has already faced several challenges to prop 8. All the SCOTUS can do is interpret State Statutes (parallel to state courts), they can't write new law and they can't force folks to accept gay marriage.

Just like religion, think whatever gets you through life. Many lawyers have said the same thing today, that Kennedy's words make it pretty clear that he thought it should revert back to the 9th district's decision, which would make same sex marriage legal. I'm not going on what I want to happen, I'm going on what several lawyers are saying he referred to.
