There’s not much question which way the decision will go: same-sex couples are going to prevail. The logic is plain:
In 2013, the court—the very same nine justices—struck down the Defense of Marriage Act. The plaintiff was a lesbian spouse whose marriage was recognized under New York law. The court ruled that the Constitution bars the federal government from treating traditional marriages differently from same-sex marriages in states that legalize both.

SCOTUS should NOT be hearing this gay marriage case because marriage is not an enumerated power delegated to them by the Constitution. So it is up to the states to assert adhesion to the Rule of Law of the Constitution and declare they reject unconstitutional federal acts and decisions like hearing and deciding regarding gay marriage (regardless of their ruling - it is not in their constitutional scope of power to hear the case AT ALL (other than to repeal lower federal court decisions and send the case back to the state where it originated)).

That’s exactly what I expected Time to say...
My guess.... Obolo plays his blackmail card on Roberts again, and Fag/Carpet Muncher marriages become legal.
The original writing of the Constitution was ‘historic’.
The re-writing is just dull-witted.
He does not need Roberts; and please stop this bullsht blackmail conspiracy theory about Roberts.
I predict a 7-2 ruling in favor of states being allowed to define marriage.
Who is arguing the case for Biblical, true marriage?
I hope are correct, triple E.
I hope SCOTUS is consistent and makes sure my state issued CCW permit is recognized in all 57 states. Or better yet, just rule in favor of constitutional carry, as it should be anyway.
I hope you are right. But I see close vote with Kennedy being the lynch pin.
Very optimistic. I pray to God that you are correct.
I don’t think any one has a right to get married. What’s to stop a state from ceasing to issue marriage licenses at all?
So, why did Traitor Roberts decide to rewrite law all by hisownself?
The Supreme Court will once again prove to be unfit to rule on the Constitution they are members of the dismantle team.
So what is your theory for Roberts inexplicably rewriting the ACA on the fly (which has never been done in our country’s history) to make it a “tax?” I’m guessing you’ll say he was a stealthy liberal all along.
I second that.
Where is “marriage” mentioned in our constitution ?
Absolutely. Marriage is a religious institution.
Because he was pressed and bullied, not because of any blackmail.
