My guess is they'll stay as safely behind the public-opinion curve as they can. They may well overturn Section 3 of DoMA, so that legal state marriages get federal recognition. They'll leave Section 2 alone.
On Prop. 8, they'll either uphold it, or overturn it on narrow grounds basically applicable only to California. I can't imagine this Court declaring all state bans federally unconstitutional.
