How will Justices vote in gay rights marriage case? Will they dodge main issue?
As you probably know, the Supreme Court has finally taken on a gay marriage rights case. How each Justice can be expected to vote is fairly predictable. However, it is always possible that the Court will dodge the central issue of a constitutional right for gays to marry and merely hold that even states which prohibit gay marriage must recognize such marriages that take place legally in other states. We probably won't get a decision until mid-June.
