Really good @profepps piece on how Justice Scalia's scathing DOMA dissent backfired: http://theatln.tc/1kZunUT
.@bmaz @DCCyclone @sahilkapur I do not share that confidence. I think AMK could go either way depending on how the case is framed.

@Profepps@DCCyclone@sahilkapur That has been my view since Perry was filed in CAND and assigned to Vaughn walker, still is. -
@bmaz@DCCyclone@sahilkapur AMK likes 2 things: "dignity" and states. The two clash and it can go either way. Triumphalism hurts SSM cause. -
@Profepps@DCCyclone@sahilkapur We will find out sooner rather than later it appears. I'll be stunned if AMK doesn't do it. Its his legacy -
@bmaz@DCCyclone@sahilkapur I think SSM gets his vote UNLESS advocates overplay hand. -
@Profepps@DCCyclone@sahilkapur Heh, well, I think we are past that point now. The push is on, and it will be ACA fever level.

Very hard to imaging Kennedy impairing his reputation as the key Justice on gay rights. Very hard. RT
@Profepps@bmaz@DCCyclone@sahilkapur -
@espinsegall@Profepps@DCCyclone@sahilkapur Right. For better or worse, this is his enduring legacy for the ages+he knows that. -
And he cares. RT
@bmaz@Profepps@DCCyclone@sahilkapur Right. For better or worse, this is his enduring legacy for the ages+he knows that. -
@espinsegall@bmaz@Profepps@DCCyclone is there a creative legal way for AMK to punt this w/o harming his Bowers/Lawrence/Windsor legacy? -
Very hard to imagine.
@sahilkapur@bmaz@Profepps@DCCyclone is there a creative legal way for AMK to punt this w/o harming his ... legacy? -
@espinsegall@sahilkapur@Profepps@DCCyclone Agree. Anything short of delivering the deal+his legacy is as a coward. That ain't happening. -
@bmaz@espinsegall@Profepps@DCCyclone I lack a fancy law degree, but in that case I'd be quite surprised if AMK doesn't accept 14A view. -
@sahilkapur@espinsegall@Profepps@DCCyclone I am absolutely convinced he was ready on Perry, but RBG thought was going too fast+hesitated. - 12 more replies
