David Boies, one of the top lawyers arguing against the constitutionality of California’s gay marriage ban, predicted Sunday that the Supreme Court will end up supporting gay marriage in the case. 

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case, Hollingsworth v. Perry, on Tuesday.

“I think we’re gonna win,” Boies said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I don’t think we’re gonna win five-four.”

Calling gay marriage a civil rights issue, Boies said, “I don’t think that this is the kind of issue that’s going to divide the court the way some other issues divide the court.”
