SAN FRANCISCO - California's highest court agreed Wednesday to hear several legal challenges to the state's new ban on same-sex marriage but refused to allow gay couples to resume marrying before it rules.
The California Supreme Court accepted three lawsuits seeking to nullify Proposition 8, a voter-approved constitutional amendment that overruled the court's decision in May that legalized gay marriage.
All three cases claim the measure abridges the civil rights of a vulnerable minority group. They argue that voters alone did not have the authority to enact such a significant constitutional change.

It's truly amazing that they agreed to hear the challenges so quickly. It give me hope that they have it in their minds to overturn the amendment.
No doubt if they do it will be challeneged in Federal Court, most probably the Supreme Court.
More and more I think it is inevitable that it goes to the Supreme Court, in which Loving vs. VA already stands as a case in support of LGBT marriage...don't you think?
