Nope. It does not strike down Prop 8, since they never got to the merits of the case. It only makes that particular group ineligible to contest Walker's decision.
In effect the Supes did refuse to hear the case.
The decision cannot take effect for 25 days, and during that time an appeal by Bigots, Inc. can be made to hear the case on its merits.
Judge Walker, interviewed by ABC-TV, said he would not be surprised if a county clerk fought the governor's order to make marriage licenses available to same-sex couples. One would think county clerks would have standing.

Of course, I'd like to see anyone get married who wants to. But the Supreme Court obviously doesn't.
