I'm sorry to be so dense, but I don't know what that means. Prop. 8 is unconstitutional? Or still stands? Or something otherwise different?

They have basically said that the supporters of Prop 8 who brought the case shouldn't have been allowed to do so. Basically, it will go back to things the way they stood before Perry.
ETA: So, no ruling on the constitutionality (or not) of Prop 8 from the Supremes.

Which means Prop. 8 is unconstitutional? (Sorry to be such a moron.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
That's fantastic. I declare this to be a day of high drama.

The lower court's decision striking it down stands. Not the same as the Supremes saying it is unconstitutional. So, outcome limited to CA.
