As Twitchy reported Wednesday morning, the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage act as unconstitutional. A dissent opinion in that ruling hinted at the decision in the Prop. 8 case.
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.

Same-sex marriage is now legal in California.
RT @rickklein: Prop 8 ruling is no standing. That means lower court opinion stands. Gay marriages poised to resume in CA.

Twitchy will monitor this breaking news and provide reaction throughout the day.
Update:
And with #Prop8 decision, California joins 12 states and D.C. in recognizing that all Americans are equal, no matter who you love.
