Washington (AP) - Outside the court after the argument had concluded, attorney Ted Olson, a former solicitor general, put his arm around David Boies, as the two addressed reporters and stood next to the two couples involved in the case. Boies called the arguments a "very thoughtful hearing."

Asked if the court was ready to make a sweeping ruling Olson said he had "no idea."

"The court never gives you an idea of how they're going to decide and they didn't today," he said. But Olson said that public support is in favor of same sex marriage.

"We are confident where the American people are going with this," he said. "We don't know for sure what the United States Supreme Court is going to do, but we're very, very gratified that they listened, they heard, they asked hard questions, and there's no denying where the right is and we hope that the Supreme Court will come out in that way when they make this decision in June."
