The good guys will file for cert. If at least four want to take on the case, cert will be granted (”rule of four”). I think Thomas, Scalia, Alito, and Roberts will want to hear this.

SCOTUS likes taking on cases where the law is in turmoil. This ruling is perfect b/c you have a federal law (DOMA) being overridden by a state law.

This doesn’t effect DOMA. DOMA protects states from OTHER states which institute gay marriage.

If any state court rules that the state must recognize other state’s marriages, then the USSC may have to rule.
