I'm a little surprised that the 9th circuit granted the stay, but I think we should be a bit cautious about the "liberal" and "conservative" labels here. All the courts are considering is whether Proposition 8 is consistent with the constitution, not whether gay marriage should or should not be allowed in principle.
