Legally, no.

It has not gone through a legal appeal.
It actually did. The appeal was tossed a year later because the people bringing the appeal didnt have legal standing.

The decision was still reviewed by an appellate court.
The appeal was tossed.  Legally, it counts for nothing.

A subsequent appeal, with a different judge, could rule differently.

I highly doubt this is going away, nor has it been settled once and for all.

But it still happened. It wasn't tossed on merit.

You are a complete dumbass.

Do you know why they couldn't rule on merit?

They might not have to, since the current case has not yet been played out to conclusion.  It's just been knocked back a few steps back to the Walker ruling.

The state would have to appeal. The governor and the attorney general refuse to do it.

Don't they have a responsibility to uphold the laws of the state and the will of the people?

FYI . . . according to CNN, Gov. Jerry Brown "said he interpreted the high court ruling as making Prop 8 unconstitutional and unenforceable".  Which shows that he's as big of a dumbass as you, since SCOTUS completely avoided the question of constitutionality.

The state defended the law when it was challenged. It is under no obligation to appeal.

I think the time to appeal a decision is limited.

But it still actually happened, even if it doesn't count anymore due to a procedural ruling from SCOTUS.
