I loathe Roberts! What a pathetic pansy he is! He’s the John Boehner of the Supreme court!
I don't know why everyone is singling out Roberts for bashing. No one dissented from this order, or from Monday's denials of cert.--not Scalia, not Thomas, not Alito.
The speculation in the legal blogosphere is that the conservatives voted against cert. because they don't trust Kennedy and think he is the likely 5th vote for gay marriage; they would rather have the issue remain undecided by the Supreme Court, even at the price of gay marriage going into effect in 30 or more states, than have a definitive decision against them. Likewise, the speculation is that the liberals also voted against cert., either because they are not 100% sure of Kennedy's vote, or because they think public uproar against a decision for gay marriage will be less in a few years as gay marriage becomes more accepted.
