Marriage is not a Constitutional issue and the case that was brought up to SCOTUS should be (reversed if from a lower federal court and) remanded to the appropriate state.

We know where the four Hard Leftist Justices will go becasue they're Socialists who don't care about the Constitution which is an anti-Socialist document.

We know where Scalia, Thomas, and Alito will go becasue they actually believe in up holding the text and original intent of the Constitution.

The two wild cards are Roberts and Kennedy. If either one votes for mandatory "gay: marriage, the good guys are sunk. I'm inclined to think Kennedy will vote for the gay thing becasue he seems soft/puzzled about social issues and at least based on his Casey (re: Roe v. Wade) vote seems not to mind deciding regardless if the subject is not a Constitutional matter. Roberts is a tougher call for me.

Any thoughts?

For gays 6-3[Alito, Thomas, Scalia].

Roberts and Kennedy will side with the others.

The Court might try to finesse the issue by ruling on the narrowest grounds they can find, allowing them to strike down Prop 8 in a way that does not set a mandatory precedent for other states.

I predict Roberts and Kennedy vote with the liberals.
