Chief Justice John Roberts' first cousin, a lesbian, will attend Tuesday's oral arguments in the first gay marriage case to reach the Supreme Court. She will be in the seating section reserved for the justice's family and close friends.

Jean Podrasky, 48, told the Los Angeles Times that she hopes her first cousin will decide to overturn California's gay marriage ban, called Proposition 8, so that she can marry her longtime girlfriend. "He is a smart man," Podrasky told the paper of the George W. Bush-appointed justice. "He is a good man. I believe he sees where the tide is going. I do trust him. I absolutely trust that he will go in a good direction."

That probably makes 5... Hopefully they rule that it is unconstitutional to distinguish between same sex and opposite sex couples ... ending the ban nationwide and forcing states to recognize same sex marriages.
