At this point, the most important opinion in the United States is probably that of Justice Anthony Kennedy, traditionally the "swing vote" in the US Supreme Court. There are likely 4 justices willing to strike down Section 3 of DOMA and California's Proposition 8. There are likely 4 justices who will not strike these down. Then, there is Justice Anthony Kennedy. The outcome is likely to depend upon which side he takes on the issue.
