Credit: Reuters/Joshua Roberts LOS ANGELES | Sat Jun 29, 2013 6:54pm EDT LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Opponents of gay marriage petitioned the Supreme Court on Saturday to immediately reinstate a 5-year-old ban on same-sex matrimony in California that was lifted a day earlier by a federal appeals court. Supporters of the gay marriage ban known as Proposition 8, which California voters approved in 2008, asked the high court to overrule a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals order that lifted an injunction barring same-sex unions. Friday's surprise removal of the stay launched a resumption of weddings by gay and lesbian couples up and down California in the wake of a Supreme Court decision on Wednesday to let stand a lower-court opinion striking down Prop 8 as unconstitutional. But opponents said the appeals court jumped the gun in removing its injunction before a 25-day "reconsideration" period had elapsed.

This is the Supreme Court; when they say a law is unconstitutional, it is unconstitutional and should be removed immediately, waiting period or no.
