Supreme Decision on Marriage Equality

[Hosnon]

7. I'm conflicted about what I think will happen...

Part of me thinks that the Court will narrowly rule and strike down Prop 8, but decline to nationalize the right for whatever reason; but part of me also thinks that the Court will find no justifiable reason to deny marriage equality and, in light of the polling data showing growing momentum, rule that same-sex marriage is constitutionally protected.

I think the deciding factor will be based on how each Justice views the role of the Supreme Court and the Judiciary in our political system. If a majority/plurality think that the Court should affirmatively protect minority rights, I can go ahead and clear out my summer schedule because I'll have a gay wedding to attend every weekend!
