The best that we can hope for in that case is that SCOTUS denies standing in all federal courts, which would leave in place the CA Supreme Court decision upholding Prop 8 as constitutional. It would be a victory for States’ Rights if not for the institution of marriage. I think SCOTUS wants to leave the same-sex marriage debate to the states.

Spot on analysis and I concur. Even the liberals on the court know that Roe v. Wade is a disaster and indefensible nonsense.

Thomas and Scalia, for all their failings, are inching the court that way. Roberts feels the same way. I think Alito does too. Surprisingly, I thought that Ginsberg also knows this and can be moved. I await the decision.
