This means that some will be able to marry immediately, and some will still be waiting; i am not surprised that they made this move. This was also the way they handled the question when it came to Californias prop 8, and although eventually they will step in like they did with civil rights for poc, this is probably all we could have expected at this time.
I find it especially heart warming, that since Utah was in such a rush to bring this issue to the SCOTUS in order to hold up same-sex marriage for quite a long time, they will be amoung the 5 that will have to allow marriage immediately. After the interference from the Mormons on prop 8, i find myself almost giddy.
