Well a lot seem to think they may sidestep the gay marriage issue altogether which would just be rich for as worked up as people are on the left thinking they have a slam dunk (link below) The SCOTUS is not limited by the arguments made by the parties in the case. I have trouble believing there isn't an amicus brief in their stack somewhere on FFC.

Yes, based on all the questioning about standing, SCOTUS does seem to be looking for a way out of deciding anything. (hence my statement about hesitating to rule at all)
But then again, blogs and tweets based on court transcripts would have lead you to believe Obamacare was being overturned. So we'll see!
