Evaporating Marriage Mirage?

Even the stodgiest alter kaker can surprise on occasion. The SCOTUS announced they will hear arguments on two huge LGBT rights cases related to mariage and benefits. Wowzers.

We'll hit the substance of the two very different angles of same-sex marriage. One might be the gay version of Loving v. Virginia or it might just affect CA, depending how how the Supremes decide. The other goes to the heart of equal benefits and tax treatment under the onerous and spiteful Defense of Marriage Act.
