Kennedy is too much of a wild card, I wouldn't be so sure on how he would side. That's a lot of power in 1 justice's hands.
Edit: also, proponents have/will file an injunction to prevent marriages until the case is heard by the 9th Circuit... and another one while it is awaiting cert.

The 9th Circuit is about as liberal as they come, the chances of them putting a halt to this are about as strong as a Stanley Cup banner ever being raised in Vancouver.
