There is room for all kinds of rulings. On DOMA, they might carve parts as unconstitutional, while other parts are, or, they could uphold the entire thing, or throw the whole thing out. On the other hand, the more important case might be the CA prop 8 case. Again, they might make a narrow, CA only ruling saying you can't vote an existing right away. On the other hand, they might rule that the lower court was wrong in meddling in a states law. Or, and this is the most interesting possibility, they might say that marriage is a fundamental right, and that all states will have to allow it.
Here is the question of the day, does anyone think that wealthy people should pay a lower percentage of their income to taxes than middle class people? Don't argue tax brackets, just a simple question. Do you think someone earning 46 million dollars should pay a lower percentage of their income than say someone earning sixty thousand?
