SCOTUS punts on Prop 8: Rules no standing; Same-sex marriage legal in Calif.; Updates

Looks like the Court is preparing to not decide Prop 8. So the trial judge's ruling invalidating Prop 8 stands. No national ruling.

If Prop 8 ruling is based on standing, CA same-sex marriages will likely start very soon from court clerks who believe Prop 8 is invalid.

Prop 8. No standing. Per Roberts. 5-4.

#SCOTUS isn't taking up Prop 8 which means same-sex marriage is legal in CA.

RT @rickklein: Prop 8 ruling is no standing. That means lower court opinion stands. Gay marriages poised to resume in CA.

So recap: DOMA is struck down. Prop 8 decision means same-sex marriage is legal in Calif., but doesn't affect any other state. #SCOTUS

Same-sex marriage now legal in California, but SCOTUS doesn't say the Constitution compels all states to allow same-sex marriage.

Yep. RT @baseballcrank Prop 8 standing decision is effectively the death knell of the referendum process (YMMV if that's a good thing).

And with #Prop8 decision, California joins 12 states and D.C. in recognizing that all Americans are equal, no matter who you love.
