Given Kennedy's track record regarding the 14th Amendment, I see this going well. If so, I'd expect Roberts to jump on board; he's more concerned about legacy than the rest of the fringe on the SCOTUS.

God, I remember organizing marches and rallies and phone banks in 2008-09. I know this sounds hyperbolic to those who have gone through far more historic and challenging civil right struggles, but it *did* feel like a generation of LGBT folk had been awoken. And, then, when there whispers of taking the struggle to a national level all the way to the Supreme Court, I was among those opposed -- it was "too soon", the "nation wasn't ready", we should keep this at the State levlel, small victories leading up to a big one. I think I'll happily be eating my hat on that one this June. A few years ago I would have been shocked if SCOTUS would rule for marriage equality. Now, I'd be shocked if they didn't.

I just heard this on my local news. So unexpected and exciting. Hallelujah!
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Thanks for your "confession", HorseTears. I could have posted exactly the same thing.
I'm still wary of this Supreme Court, but my fingers are crossed.
