The Supreme Court is pretty good at avoiding rulings with this sort
of broad effect, while still having the desired outcome for the
individuals involved. See, for example, the ruling in Hollingsworth v.
Perry and the refusal to review various related circuit-court decisions,
before a circuit split forced them to take up Obergefell v. Hodges.
