I would think so too, but I won't be holding my breath. I've noticed that the courts often like to play "Calvin Ball" when it suits them.
Here is a question: If the SC rules in favor of traditional marriage, does that reverse all the decisions by liberal federal judges who overturned MANY states’ laws banning gay marriage? I would think so.

And that is why it will survive. They will find that canceling 309,000 “marriages” would be to difficult. Would they have to redo all the taxes from those years, invalidate all kinds of things that married people get? What about those who divorced and are getting spousal support or one gave 50 percent of their money to the other due to divorce....do that money go back to original since the marriage was invalidated? I wish the states would have waiting on a Supreme Court decisions before allowing even on “gay marriage”. Then they definitely would have voted no to gay marriage. Now......I am not so sure they will. A 6-3 decision for gay marriage would not shock me a bit.

That’s what I think is missing from everyone’s calculations. If it does, that would create chaos. Kennedy doesn’t give a rip-roaring-rip about the constitution. He’s fully in tune with the Zeitgeist and will decide based on that. For Kennedy, there would have to be a very compelling, extra-constitutional argument for razing the superstructure the Sodomites, Marxists, and traitors have worked so hard building over the last few years.
