Is a federal appeal court likely to uphold a ban when SCOTUS has 
indicated that it does not want to hear such a case and is prepared to 
let other appeal courts' decisions to allow same-sex marriages to 
stand?  The Justices have iondicated that they do not want to intervene 
to support the principle of DOMA on other cases.  Would they be 
sympathetic to an appeal from another cirtcuit that went against that view?
