define marriage, the common sense view of marriage. >> reporter: officially the justices are expected to decide until summer. here's a breakdown -- if the court strikes down prop 8 as a violation of constitutional rights, same-sex marriage would become legal or they could support prop 8 and that would mean each state could decide and the third option, the court could find that there's a right for
