I actually vote they go with Option 2. Since the scope has been pretty much limited to CA, I don’t see any incentive for the Sup. Ct. to make a ruling either way. Of course, the nasties of the court might see it as an opportunity to be nasty. But I still think they’ll pass. They’ll have plenty of opportunity for nastiness when the DOMA rulings come their way.

While I am hopeful that it is NOT option # 4, I would not put it past the Conservative Judges given their recent performances:

Firstly, that of Supreme Court Justice John Roberts having recently broken ranks with his conservative colleagues on the Healthcare case (which I see as possible camoflage to feign un-biased posturing for the upcoming cases with DOMA)

and

Secondly, the recent (Dancing-with-the-Stars-like) popularity raising interview of Antonin Scalia with Piers Morgan. All show.

I pray that Right be done

Timothy, you forgot the tendency for this court to ignore any concept of restraint. So after your last one should be,

The court hears the case, ignores all of the issues raised, and declares that all voter initiatives that reduce LGBT rights are A-OK and cannot ever be challenged again at SCROTUS.
