I hope you aren't right. I hope that the social conservatives promise an anti gay marriage amendment. I'd like to see them go down in flames on this one.
There are a few that are still complaining. For better or worse, they'll be done complaining well before the 2016 election cycle gets in gear (but even if they keep it up, they're mostly from districts that are so conservative that complaining about gay marriage will actually help them). I think this ruling will force them to give up on gay marriage before too much longer, though. Soon they'll try to pass other kinds of anti-gay legislation. ENDA could be a big issue, too, but the public seems to be getting more and more supportive of homosexuality and trying to harp on that issue is just going to hurt their party overall.
