Anyone nervous about the DOMA and Prop 8 rulings after today's voting rights act ruling?

My wife is on pins and needles. My wife wants to see her friends to marry. They are a great couple especially the one guy who was able to adopt a couple neighborhood kids and keep them out of trouble He adopted them when he was 20 and at the age of 35 is referred to as Granpap by the his adopted son's kids.

1. it kind of made me think Roberts might lean on the side in favor of gay rights

when he mentioned how things are different today. he is stupid in thinking we still don't need certain laws but it shows he is aware there have been changes for the better.

and in the area of gay rights we have moved forward and if he really means what he says he should not vote to set it back.

3. no. I've long thought that it would be bad news for voting rights and good news for

Prop 8 ruling. Not so sure about DOMA. It seems to hinge on Kennedy.

5. Kennedy makes me nervous.

6. I am more confident of favorable rulings today than I was last week.

I think the Prop 8 case will likely bring marriage equality to states besides Ca. I'm just not sure how many.

7. If the trend holds, we will have good rulings

Businesses now want gay marriage - or at least don't want to have to oppose it.
The GOP is seeing that opposing gay marriage is in most places going from a positive vote getter to a negative vote getter.


Those two facts will influence Roberts and Kennedy. The sooner their masters can put the gay marriage issue behind them, the better they are off.

9. unfavorable rulings on those would just be status quo, not a huge step backwards. disappointing tho
