Has the Cal. Supreme Court set the stage to undermine the will of the people on marriage?

ADF attorney Glen Lavy has this commentary at the San Diego Union Tribune: The Prop. 8 decision: Restoring the historical meaning of marriage

He  writes: ”The thorny issue of the validity of the interim marriage licenses never would have arisen if the court had stayed its decision last year. The court knew that Proposition 8 would be on the ballot before it denied the motion to stay that the Alliance Defense Fund filed on behalf of the Proposition 22 Legal Defense and Education Fund. What motivated the justices to allow the creation of this unnecessary controversy – one that the court then resolved contrary to the clear language of the amendment? Was the court deliberately setting the stage for an “equal protection” claim under the federal Constitution? We will wait and see.”
