I guess they will leave it to voters.

IMHO if they toss out DOMA then they effectively disenfranchise voters represented at the federal level BECAUSE DOMA imposes nothing upon the states. As well. as such IMHO setting aside DOMA requires something more than the false premise of protecting states rights. That dog won't hunt...

Isn’t DOMA permitted under Congress’ Art 4 s.1 power to make rules governing Full Faith and Credit?

I know the arguments. All I am saying is what I think the court will do. If they make gay marriage the law of the land as they did with Roe, they will cause a continual roil of the population.

They will punt the 1st case back to Kalifornia, at which the 9th circuit decision will stand, but they will kill DOMA, opening a door for a vote on the issue in states.

Remember when Obozocare was going to SCOTUS? The left kept prattling about the integrity of the Court. They are going to kick this sucker back to the states and leave us to duke it out.

This whole thing is going to become another mess when a gay couple try to divorce in a state that doesn’t recognize gay marriage.

What a mess, but the left will then say we need a consistent law because it ain’t those poor gay couple’s fault they live somewhere else than they did when they got married.

This whole thing is going to be nothing other than SCOTUS saving face.
