So now it will go to Appeals and then onwards to the Supreme Court, maybe? Yes? And if it reaches Supreme Court and they say it's unconstitutional... Then finally, DOMA will be killed and it will become federal law?

That was to be expected. Both sides said that whatever the result they were going to appeal. I expect this will be taken right to the Supreme Court itself.

UPDATE (2:23): The American Foundation for Equal Rights presser with Olson/Boies/plaintiffs has started. I will provide notable updates for those of you who can’t watch/are out and about.

Chad Griffin is speaking. He’s discussing principles that inspired the marches in Selma, the Stonewall riots, and other civil rights activism.

UPDATE (2:29): Chief Judge Walker issued a temporary stay:

Defendant-intervenors (“proponents”) have moved to stay the court’s judgment pending appeal. Doc #705. They noticed the motion for October 21, 2010 and moved to shorten time. Doc #706.

The motion to shorten time is GRANTED.

Plaintiffs, plaintiff-intervenor and defendants are DIRECTED to submit their responses to the motion to stay on or before August 6, 2010, at which time the motion will stand submitted without a hearing unless otherwise ordered.

The clerk shall STAY entry of judgment herein until the motion to stay pending appeal, Doc #705, has been decided.

CNN’s legal analyst, Andrew Cohen, says this means things are on hold for the time being, and they will give both sides a moment to make their case on whether marriages should be allowed or not before the next decision.

If DOMA from the Mass ruling doesn't make it first, this still has to through the Appeals of the 9th Circuit Court, but it should then go to the Supreme Court.
