Prop. 8 repeal may go unchallenged

Hopes grow that California's gay marriage decision will survive | Richard Adams | World news | guardian.co.uk

To have standing in federal court, a party must demonstrate that it has suffered a definite injury. In his ruling Judge Walker said there was no evidence that supporters of the Proposition 8 amendment would meet that test.
The state of California would have been the obvious candidate with legal standing to take the appeal forward, but both governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and attorney general Jerry Brown have said they will not appeal the decision.
Legal scholars speaking to the Los Angeles Times said opponents of gay marriage were "in a tough spot" and that the standing issue could scupper further appeals.

I've come across a few other articles that state pretty much the same thing. Frankly I think it would be better all around if this ruling stays as is and doesn't get an appeal considering how a supreme court ruling in SCOTUS could just as easily lead to national ban as it could a national legalization.
