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.

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

So, are the marriages that took place previously in CA now legal again?
