I hear you.
What do you think the tea leaf reading (Allahpundit) and SCOTUSblog opinion that 80% chance SC will strike down DOMA?
They WILL strike it down and throw all marriage issues back to the states. Hopefully they will also say that the fag judge had no right overruling the people and reinstate Prop 8.
That would be the only right thing to do.
I’d say they’re correct. I don’t see DOMA being upheld. IMO, the only uncertainty left is whether they will overturn all federal rulings on Prop. 8 or not. I can’t even speculate on that one.
Actually, let me speculate further. If SCOTUS believes that same-sex couples meet the legal definition of a “suspect” class, to which Cooper referred yesterday, then I expect them to grant standing in both cases and overturn DOMA and Prop 8. If they believe that this issue is too hot right now and should be left to the states, I expect them to grant standing in DOMA and overturn it and deny standing to Prop. 8 in the entire federal system.
Percent chances? I have no idea.
