Will The Court Grant Cert in Another Disclosure Case Involving Same Sex Marriage and Referendum Petition Signatures?

Doe v. Reed has made the “Petitions to Watch” list at SCOTUSblog and for good reason. The Court already got involved in this case at an earlier stage, imposing a stay pending a decision on the cert request. That already suggests the Court is taking the question seriously.
But here’s another compelling reason: the case, like Citizens United and the Prop. 8 trial case, fits into the meme of conservatives facing harassment for their views (sometimes even if their views represent the views of a (slim) majority of the population!).
My earlier coverage of the case, and the fascinating constitutional issues it raises, is here and here.
I’m going out on a limb and predicting a cert grant. What does it cost me? I’ve been wrong before!
