Remember this holding only applies to Section 3 (feds not recognizing same sex marriage licenses issued by the states-- and most specifically it could be interpreted to only apply to marriage licenses issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.) The non-portability of same sex marriages were not before the court and were not ruled on. Also, this is a low level federal ruling and the Oboma administration will almost certainly appeal it to a higher court.... which means this is much more of a tentative and hopeful: Woot!
