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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

From Twitter:

"#NOH8 BREAKING: #SCOTUS dismisses #Prop8 on grounds proponents lack standing; freedom to marry to return to California! #time4marriage"

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

Our wings are not tired.

MSNBC says marriage is now legal in CA again.

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.

Okay so the Prop 8 decision only effects California right?

Does the DOMA decision effect state laws defining marriage as only between 1 man and 1 woman?

No. States can still pass those laws at this point. All *legal* marriages will now be recognized by federal law, but states still define what is legal.
