My guesses:

Prop 8 - They punt and any ruling applies only to CA.

DOMA - They strike down section 3. 

I'm still laughing that the Chief Justice essentially called Obama a coward on DOMA, lol.  So true though.

Well...looks like we called.

As GB's new arm chair lawyers, I hereby decree our word is law.

Now, if we can just get government to stay out of people's marriage and mind their own business...

Living in a tyrannical police state has its advantages. Bob can marry Steve, women can die on the battlefield and government agencies can target private citizens for engaging in political activity without consequence.

Fundamental transformation complete!
