I have always maintained the Prop 8 issue will be dismissed on the issue of standing, and I stick by that. Too many of the "liberal" justices were concerned about this issue during questioning.

I also will go out on a limb here and say DOMA will be struck down on a 6-3 vote with Roberts voting with the majority and Scalia, Alito and Thomas strongly dissenting.

The inside baseball politics here is the Court kicks the can down the road on gay marriage, at least for now, but gets rid of DOMA, leaving things up to the states.

I think Roberts will be on the winning side of both issues, thus furthering his personal agenda to make this HIS court, not Scalia's. This is in line with what he did on Obamacare.
