You are correct Oli, however the application of Federal benefits to gay couples married in one state and then moving to another would ingerently create an equal protection issue down the road.
With the decision in Prop 8, as I read it everything gets kicked down to the District Court that first held it unconsitiutional, thus allowing gay marriage in California.
As more states adopt gay marriage the harder it will be for the court to duck what they avoided today, which was probably a concession to Kennedy.
The corner has been turned.
"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"
