Wait... what? Can you rephrase?

They did not strike down the DOMA sections that allow states the freedom to not recognize same-sex laws of other states.

Had they ruled on Prop 8, they likely would have struck down the constitutional basis for states to make homosexual marriage illegal. Such a motion had been expected for weeks. That means them not taking up Prop 8 means the fight might last for years to come unless a new case is brought to the Supreme Court, one which they can't simply dismiss it on legalistic grounds.

And no CleanedShaved, that's not what you half-assedly posted. Had the entirety of DOMA been voted down, all US anti-homosexual laws could be declared invalid by reciprocity.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
