I would not be surprised if its a 6-3 ruling for marriage equality in June

[bluestateguy]

Kennedy has always been pretty pro-LGBT equality, and Roberts' cousin is a lesbian. Roberts is also very protective of the Court's place in history.

1. It does seem likely - That said could also go 5-3 with Roberts Abstaining

on some pretext or another.

I do think equality will win though; but who can say what'll happen between now and then.

2. 7 to 2 in favor....

with Scalia and Thomas dissenting (maybe).

Read the articles in this OP and let me know what you think.

3. This court cares for Nothing but corporations' rights.

And gay marriage is pure profit for corporations.

They ruled against Gore for corporations
They ruled for gun extremists for corporations
Etc, etc, etc...

It's always against the people if it affects their bottom line.

Here, there is money to be made.

6-3 is probably a stretch, but they will rule in favor of gay marriage.

4. YOu are correct and I have been making the same prediction.

This isn't a corporate power/$$$ issue and Roberts won't want to be seen as being on the wrong side of history, so he will vote with the majority.

The dissents from Soapy Sam, Fat Tony and Uncle Ruckus will be hilarious.
