The problem is that the liberals on the SC are the ones who are most likely to be swayed by election results, public opinion polls, and other extraneous information. They are also the least likely to pay any attention to election results that they do not like.

I am not confident that the SC will rule in favor of the states. I was extremely disappointed in Scalia's application of the commerce clause to nullify the 10th Amendment in a case involving a woman in a western state who was growing marijuana on her own property for her own use.

There was no way that the 10th Amendment should not have applied in that case. there was absolutely no interstate commerce involved and no way that the woman's small pot patch impacted interstate commerce in any way. I could see Scalia applying the same twisted logic in the case of gay marriage. I hope that he shows better judgment in this case.
