Am I alone in thinking that the opponents of same sex marriage are probably busy planning their own suite of federal suits? so it makes sense for supporters of same sex marriage to build a strong federal case asap?

I mean, the opposers have only successfully drafted legislation barring gay marriage in somethin like 30 states is all, while ssm supporters have like 6 or 7!! Who cares if they're a whole hell of a lot closer to a two thirds state majority that could define marriage at the federal level? Everybody knows public opinion on gays has changed, and that has way more clout than any high court ruling.

Oh wait... it doesn't.

Thinking like the enemy for a second: if YOU were desperate to get your increasingly unpopular moral opinions encoded into law, and you were galvanized by a spat of surprise wins in the high courts... what would YOUR next move be? Would it be to sit and wait while public opinion moves even further from your moral views? Or would it be to get as many constitutions amended as possible, as quickly as possible... including the Big One?
