The decision is a foregone conclusion, a simple formality.
SCOTUS didn’t take this case to overturn the ruling of a large number of State Supreme Courts, they took it to confirm them, and to pre-empt and voter efforts to go around their states decision.

we are whistling past the graveyard here....
Yup. They showed their hand back in October, when they let all of those lower court opinions stand.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Roberts joins in with the majority to make it 6-3. Kennedy will claim that states do have the right to regulate marriage, but that they have to comply with his contrived vision of the 14th Amendment.
