The dominoes continue to fall. Another federal judge has struck down Indiana's same-sex marriage ban as unconstitutional. That continues the unanimous agreement among some 18 or 20 federal and state judges who have made decisions favorable to marriage equality since the DOMA law was struck down by SCOTUS.
By the time one or more of these case are taken up by the Supreme Court, it may be a foregone conclusion. It's unlikely that the swing vote of Anthony Kennedy would buck this unanimous trend from lower courts. And, anyway, Kennedy has been the leading voice who wrote two of the most important majority opinions in earlier landmark gay rights caases.

Update 2:00 pm: The 10th Circuit of Appeals has upheld the lower court decision that overturned Utah's gay marriage ban.
