The supreme court as they have before can refuse to hear it; meaning they leave it as a state issue as it is now. Not a right but regulated by state in marriage laws. It excludes marriage at certain age; direct blood relatives and other requirement depending on state. The state does not limit your living together just recognizing you has married; Just like male and female living together under certain circumstances as common law not recognized in more and more states.
It takes either some serious gonads or some serious stupidity (or both) to look at the rulings of every other such case and simply decide you are right and they are not. Shameful and completely against precedent, but only a minor setback in the grand scheme of things.
Not sure exactly how this issue got so far down the legal road in the first place. That said, allowing two homosexuals of the same sex to enter into a marriage contract while banning two heterosexuals of the same sex from that same contract would truly be a civil rights violation. Arguing for the legality of either of course is bazaar to say the least but at least there would be logically consistency in the argument.

Same sex marriage does allow heterosexuals of the same gender to marry. I have no idea how many non-gay same sex couples have taken advantage of marriage, but I suppose a few have.
They won't. It'll pass 6-3 when SCOTUS rules on it!
I hope you're right, but I won't bank on Kennedy and Roberts.
