7. What you said isn't true.
One, they don't appeal every case because multiple cases challenging the same law are usually consolidated into one.

Two, there is no reason to think the Supreme Court will uphold this, and plenty of reason to think they won't. We had the same balance on the SCOTUS when Lawrence vs. Texas came up. Kennedy has a good record on gay rights.

That is, of course, assuming that the SCOTUS takes the case, and doesn't leave it with the court of appeals. But realistically, it's probably never even going to get to the COA, since the Defense Approps bill comes back up in the lame duck session.
