Arent Fox litigation partner Hunter Carter, who co-wrote a 171-page report
that helped convince the NY State Bar Association and state legislature to
endorse equal marriage rights, tells us he expects both DOMA and Prop 8 to
be struck down.
Hunter told us yesterday he thinks both Hollingsworth v. Perry and US v.
Windsor will likely go 6-3, finding Prop 8 and DOMA unconstitutional. The
four more liberal justices could be joined by Roberts—whose Affordable Care
Act ruling showed he cares highly about the integrity and future of the
court, and who may not support the federal government reaching into a state
issue—and Kennedy—who wrote the majority opinion in the 2003 case Lawrence
v Texas and started it with the word “liberty,” showing he appreciates
that it’s an issue of human freedom. It’s even possible Scalia will end up
on the opposing end of Prop 8, on the issue of standing. | m******1
