Let's just say for discussion's sake the USSC allows gay marriage and strikes down Prop 8

And let's just say that in their ruling effectively legalizes gay marriage in all 50 states.

In the blue states people would cheer, in the purple states there might be some grumbling but the people would adapt and move on.

I worry about the blood red states in the heart of the Bible Belt. Mississippi, Alabama, Idaho. Those types of states. I could foresee some pretty nasty resistance to legalized gay marriage like county clerks making a scene and ostentatiously refusing to grant same sex marriage licsences, justices of the peace refusing to perform marriages or throwing up other roadblocks at the level of county and state government to stop marriage equality.

I hope gay marriage is legalized everywhere ASAP. I'm just saying don't expect that to be Waterloo and the issue resolved.
