"we conclude that, under this state's Constitution, the constitutionally based right to marry properly must be understood to encompass the core set of basic substantive legal rights and attributes traditionally associated with marriage that are so integral to an individual's liberty and personal autonomy that they may not be eliminated or abrogated by the Legislature or by the electorate through the statutory initiative process."

Any lawyers out here who can confirm any anti-gay marriage intiative is DOA?

NO.
What that says is that the state constitution will not allow either the legislature or an initiative to pass a LAW forbidding gays to marry.
(the current law they overturned was passed by initiative).

There is nothing that the Court can do to prevent the constitution from being amended (which is the upcoming fight) and if the constitution WERE amended, that would be the law of the land in CA
