As was widely expected, by a 6-1 vote the California Supreme Court this morning (via KRON in SF) upheld the voters' decision on Proposition 8:

Proposition 8 was a California ballot proposition [the ProtectMarriage.com organization sponsored the initiative] passed in the November 4, 2008, general election. It changed the state Constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to opposite-sex couples and eliminated same-sex couples' right to marry, thereby overriding portions of the ruling of In re Marriage Cases. The measure added a new section (7.5) to Article I, which reads: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."[1][2][3] California's State Constitution put the measure into immediate effect on November 5, the day after the election.[4] The proposition did not affect the existing domestic partnerships in California.[5]
