The case is Perry v. Schwarzenegger Brown (the governor of California having changed in the interim). I have always thought this was the best of the cases for a writ of certiorari, because when reviewing it the court is almost certainly going to be required to discuss the Full Faith and Credit Clause, and the result is likely to be that DOMA is unconstitutional, that Prop 8 is unconstitutional and that any other state statute would be as well.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

2nd Circuit rules in favor of Edith Windsor. DOMA unconstitutional.

For a moment there I thought you were saying the Supreme Court had ruled it unconstitutional.

Either a ban discriminates against those affected more than those unaffected, or it does not.
