The Supreme Court this week will dive into the biggest civil rights issue it has faced in a generation — whether same-sex couples have the right to marry.

The court will hear oral arguments Tuesday and Wednesday in a pair of cases with enormous historical implications for the nation, the court and the legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts.

The Roberts court is no stranger to politically charged issues, from campaign finance to healthcare to affirmative action and voting rights. And same-sex marriage is among the most polarizing debates of the past 20 years.
Former President Bill Clinton has said the court should strike down a law he signed, and President Obama last year stated support for gay marriage — a reversal on the issue in the time since these lawsuits began.

The attorneys making the most aggressive argument for same-sex marriage are an odd couple: Ted Olson, a star of the conservative legal world who represented George W. Bush in Bush v. Gore, and David Boies, who represented Al Gore.

It's not likely they'll make the right decision.

After the Obamacare decision I will never again try to predict what the USSC will do. I find it painful to have guessed wrong.

The court has no business in this matter, the people have voted. If you do not like the results you have the right to have it voted on again in the future. All it takes is getting enough signatures to put it back on the ballot.
