Oregonians still waiting for Supreme Court Ruling on Gay Marriage

Rumors are still running rampant about when the Oregon State Supreme Court will make it's ruling on Li v. State of Oregon (the fate of the 3,021 same-sex marriages). Could be this week or next. My understanding is that the ruling must be before March 31st - or Multnomah County will be forced to begin issuing marriage licenses again. I know that sounds strange considering the passing of Constitutional Amendment 36. There was a 90 day stay issued by the lower court. Assumptions are that they would request another stay if the ruling were to be delayed past March 31st.

Opinions are released on Thursdays, although they post the "Notice of Forthcoming Opinion" on Wednesday. Here is a link to where they are posted: http://www.publications.ojd.state.or.us/supremeWednesday.htm

Didn't the majority of Oregonians make thier position known in that last election?

Yes they did. The results of the election were:
Yes: 974,703 / 56.83%
No: 740,321 / 43.17%

Even though it passed, it still is in the courts (2 cases in supreme court right now). One challenging the constitutionality of the amendment as well as the Li. v State of Oregon that will decide the fate of the over 3000 marriages.
