Striking down of DOMA means you'll never see a federal law force one side or the other in terms of marriage. So while the short sighted view is that this is a wonderful day for same sex marriage (yada yada) it actually means it will still keep the states heavily against it in the clear without threat from a federal mandate.

It's the only reason why I praised the ruling. Power back to the states. This entire round of decisions has been knocking back federal power.
