President Barack Obama predicted Tuesday that the Supreme Court is “about to make a shift” on same-sex marriage, a change he says he welcomes.
“My sense is that the Supreme Court is about to make a shift, one that I welcome, which is to recognize that — having hit a critical mass of states that have recognized same-sex marriage — it doesn’t make sense for us to now have this patchwork system,” Obama told BuzzFeed News. “It’s time to recognize that under the equal protection clause of the United States Constitution, same-sex couples should have the same rights as anybody else.”

“My hope is that they go ahead and recognize what the majority of the American people now recognize,” he said in an interview with YouTube star GloZell Green.
