In normal political campaigns, election day -- win or lose -- signals the end.
Not so with Proposition 8, the constitutional amendment defining marriage as only between a man and a woman that was approved by 52 percent of California voters Nov. 4.
If California's supreme court justices uphold the proposition, gay marriage backers plan to put their own measure before voters perhaps as soon as 2010 to re-amend the state Constitution to allow the marriages.
If the justices toss out Proposition 8, some gay-marriage opponents have talked of putting something on the ballot themselves, either to again ban gay marriage or to oust Supreme Court justices or both.
