I don't think any of the current justices are gay, let alone planning to get gay married. I don't know though. Maybe Thomas and Scalia are planning something together.
Kagen.
I would have picked 2017 over 2015 due the SC not wanting itself to be a major issue in the presidential campaign. If they vote against marriage equality in 2016, there could be a Dem landslide in every purple state. I don't think they want that to happen.
Roberts does not want to become one of the least powerful and most meaningless Chief Justice's in US history. With a Dem WH and Senate and the 83+YOs Scalia and Kennedy ready to leave the Court, the next twenty years of Roberts' tenure would logically be in a 6-3 minority.
If that happens, Roberts be as irrelevant as any CJ in the past 100 years. What will be even worse for his legacy is that many of his major rulings could easily be overturned.
I believe that seeing the groundswell in state after state Roberts may actually vote for marriage equality to avoid becoming the Supreme Court's Mr. Irrelevant.
SCOTUS is not going to rule against gay marriage.

I hope they don't. Am I right to think they will try to find any excuse not to have to make the ruling?

It's sadly predictable that you consciously neglect my statements when they don't allow you to act like an asshole:
Don't worry though, the SCOTUS has granted writ to determine if subsidies for the ACA are constitutional or not with no circuit split, but they're just going to take their sweet ass time on this one.
