A Hobby Lobby type ruling in a SSM case could only come if a court or a legislature had mandated that those who officiate at weddings be required to officiate at SSM weddings, even if their religion didn't recognize it. Unless Kennedy has bought a new Ouija board with which to make rulings, there's a solid 5 justice majority that will rule in favor of government recognition of SSM when they finally have to rule. Kennedy clearly signaled that in Windsor, but advanced some pseudo-Federalist claptrap so as to avoid doing it nationwide last year and thus give public opinion more time to shift in favor of SSM before issuing a final ruling. Roberts is really the only vote I'm uncertain of.
