The sooner to SCOTUS, the better. I don't see how anyone could concoct a Constitutional argument for excluding gays from "marriage". Generally, the court is split 5-4 conservative. My hope is that one of the five will have the courage to recognize the fact of the matter. I love arguing this issue with my socially conservative friends. Even the best of them can only hold off for about 30 minutes before confessing their objection is based soley on the fact that man/man love is just icky. As soon as you get them there, they won't argue anymore - primarily because they know the Constitution even protects the "icky".
