"My sense is that the Supreme Court is about to make a shift, one that I welcome, which is to recognize that — having hit a critical mass of states that have recognized same-sex marriage — it doesn't make sense for us to now have this patchwork system," Obama said in an interview with BuzzFeed News. "It's time to recognize that under the equal protection clause of the United States [Constitution], same-sex couples should have the same rights as anybody else."

I wonder what BS excuse that Scalia and Thomas will use in their dissenting argument and who will point to the other 7 justices and blast them for being "activists".
Who wants to be on the right side of history?
