No.
It is not possible to live in a dream world and listen to reality.
Even the most rabidly anti-gay Justice (Thomas) won’t have the balls to invalidate marriages in 35 states.
When the Supremes address this issue—likely in the early spring----marriage equality will be national instead of the patchwork we have now.

Why is there a picture of Scalia at the top of the article? It should be Kennedy, since he will be the deciding vote. He has delivered strong, consistent and persuasive opinions in favor of 14th Amendments rights for gays and lesbians for almost 20 years. I am confident that he will stick to his guns and vote in favor again.
They could punt once again. Accept the petition from the Sixth Circuit, then send it back down for an en banc review.
They could, but I don’t think they want to look that cowardly.
Again.
The short answer: NO! Mark my words … the all-Catholic conservative majority of the court (soon to be referred to as the “death panel”) is 100% CERTAIN to NOT determine whether gays are born or made, thus naking their religion into law and legitimizning discrimination against gays. They’ve already done this with Hobby Lobby, refusing to decide if birth control pills really ARE abortifacients, as their religion wants to believe. THEY’RE NEVER GOING TO OVERRULE THEIR CHURCH! If the Vatican says that people CHOOSE to be gays, that’s FINAL, mountains of evidence to the contrary be damned!
Clearly Count Dooku, er Justice Scalia, has been in secret communication with Pope Palpatine XVI and plans to betray the Clone armies…
He’s just a nasty old man and nothing else who revels in his power to impose his pre-20th Century worldview on an increasingly secular population.
He’d rule for the burning of heretics if he could get away with it.
Don’t trust the Roberts Court! The Unholy Three - Scalia, Thomas, and Alito are true anarchists and will vote against Marriage Equality. I think Kennedy, and Roberts will both agree with the rest of the Appellate Courts, but I’m afraid of what might happen.
Not with five of the biggest Aholes on the court.
Kennedy is no more trustworthy than Scalia, Roberts, Alito, and Thomas!
