CA Supreme Court Decision

Here's the story on the California decision. As it reads, this is NOT a decision on same sex marriage. "As promised, the Supreme Court in Thursday's ruling steered clear of the constitutional issue. The justices will probably have to deal with that issue in a year or two when the Superior Court cases work their way up to them on appeal." It's certainly not what I would call a pleasant development, but they did not reach beyond the basic legal question in front of them. The PDF of the Court's decision is here.
