To say that Prop 8 could be upheld can be taken one of two ways: The Supreme Court could uphold the Federal Appeals decision to strike down Prop 8 or it could uphold the California Supreme Court's decision to bar same-sex marriages within California but recognize such marriages from other states.
Failure of the Supreme Court to provide equal protection to same-sex couples could prove to be problematic in a number of ways. For one thing, it would put the US in a negative position in the international domain. It would also degrade the moral authority of the Supreme Court itself.
