Defense of Marriage Act 'Struck Down 5-4' By Supreme Court

When you say it like that I have mixed emotions about the whole thing--I like the victory for gay rights, but I hate and distrust any hint of "state's rights."

oh ya, now that the celebrations are ending, there are some sobering realities this ruling brings. this and the voters rights decision have been major coups for states, and it wouldn't surprise me if half the reason lay in the fact that Robertson was so heavily criticized for trampling state rights in the obamacare judgement.

So, does this mean that state laws barring gay marriage are now annulled?

Man...I've read all sorts of shit about it. I could have sworn that this invalidated Prop 8.

It seems like prop 8 got dismissed unrelated to this (the appeal to be more correct)
