The Court's decision was confusing. On one hand they did say "let the people" decide. The people of CA did decide and passed Prop 8. However, it appears that decision is being ignored. In DOMA it appears that only those State that acknowledge gay marriage are covered by the decision. Knowing this, it appears that State's that already have laws on the books defining marriage may be in jeopardy since the Court did not specifically uphold Prop 8. There is still a long way to go on this.
