Updating my prediction from 5-4 to 6-3 Striking down at least Sect 3 of DOMA and Prop 8

12. I'm beginning to believe

I think it's possible that they'll go 6-3 against DOMA. The standing issue is clear, since Ms. Windsor lost a lot of money (a clear injury under the law). I'm hopeful Roberts will see the light, and hopeful Thomas will retire soon.* That said, I'm not sure how that will play out in the long term. Will my husband and be able to visit MA this summer and file joint tax returns here in PA? I think that will be the subject of future litigation.

I think Proposition 8 will be dismissed for lack of standing. The court doesn't appear to have the stomach for such a sweeping decision, so they'll let it stay in CA. That said, it will still be a momentous decision.

*OK, I admit it... I originally wished for a medical emergency.
