This will, of course, go to SCOTUS for review.

However, I think they'll throw it back. It's a state's issue. SCOTUS doesn't like to get involved in states' rights issues.

But if more states do this, don't you think it could become a national issue?

Sure this will to the USSC for review. The losing side will do that.

While you gays are so happy about your victory, remember to be truly "equal" to heteros in the legal marriage commitment you must accept all the shit we have to deal as well. I'm speaking of issues like alimony, child support, and legal division of property. You may have have wished for something that you weren't so damn happy to prepare for. Be happy in your "victory", just know that it makes you a prime target for all the shit that heterosexuals have had to put up with forever. You may regret what you wished for.

well, marriage is strictly a state issue ... they only way it could become a national issue is if they continue to install DOMA in the constitution with an amendment.

Probably all 50 states will go through this same thing.

The law passed quite handily with 61%. After this, the amendment will probably pass as well. It'll probably help McCain a bit too. This ruling has specious timing.

Not before thousands of gays marry in California. On NPR, they said that gay couples could start marrying in as little as 30 days from now.

Sooner or later the general public is going to start getting royally pissed off that their political donations are going to fight issues like equality, when there are serious issues that affect every American.

The court still hasn't even concluded that the vote can take place.
