Opinion!
I get the impression that this doesn't mandate marriage equality in states that don't yet have it, but it does require the feds to recognize same-sex marriages in states that do have marriage equality. ETA: reading the opinion confirms this impression.
Per SCOTUSblog, Prop 8 case is being dismissed for lack of standing. That opinion has not been released, but they're saying the DOMA case suggests it. ETA: Opinion's out. Lack of standing. Lower court decision stands: Prop 8 is down!
