                  Obergefell pretty clearly established that the 14th Amendment extended all the rights and privileges of marriage to same-sex couples. A state somehow says "well no" and you're jumping up and down. Your hypocrisy is showing.

                          If that's what you meant by your 9-0 comment, you're way off on that. It'll be 5-4 with Kennedy and the liberals in the majority; Roberts and Alito proved that with the last follow up to Obergefell when they still voted against it.

                            I still think it will be closer to 9-0 than 5-4. The far reaching implications mandate that Texas gets told to shut the F up.

                              I thought the last one could've been 7-2, too. It wasn't. There's no reason to think Roberts (or Alito) would change his mind now. And Gorsuch is closer to Thomas than Alito so far.

                                Today is the argument in Gill v Whitford, the Wisconsin partisan gerrymandering case. The vote seems certain to be 5-4, with Kennedy the only undecided. The liberal justices' argument amounts to "duh, it's a violation of one man one vote," since it, you know, is. The "conservative" argument amounts to, "it helps our side; leave it alone." There have even been statements from Republican water carriers that this would open up too many challenges to Republican redistricting to be practical. It's probably not the strongest argument to say you cheat so much that stopping you would be onerous.

                                Anyway, Tony has been cautious about sticking the Court into this before, which is bad. But he's also a drama queen, which means he's likely to come up with one of his patented off-the-cuff, spur of the moment ridiculous rulings, which -- well, given the status quo, couldn't hurt.
