Legal issues can be very complex, and it is understandable to me that fully qualified judges could arrive at different decisions about the same issue. It has often been said that there are two sides to every issue. Few issues are so clearly defined that they have only one possible interpretation.
Justice Breyer will be presented with the issue of same-sex marriage in 2013. Supreme Court justices do not discuss issues that may come before them. Also, it does not matter if he is in favor or not, he must interpret the law according to the Constitution.
The two main voting blocks on the Supreme Court are typically referred to as the liberal wing and the conservative wing. The liberal wing usually consists of justices who generally support more liberal interpretations of the law and tend to favor progressive outcomes in cases. The conservative wing generally consists of justices who interpret the law more conservatively and tend to favor conservative outcomes. However, it is important to note that the Court's composition and dynamics can vary over time and on specific issues.
The US Supreme Court justices don't talk publicly about social and political matters, particularly those that may come before the Court, so the only way to determine where a justice stands on the issues is to examine his or her voting record. Ginsburg's record of jurisprudence indicates she strongly favors same-sex domestic-partnerships and privacy rights; however, there is no way of know how she would vote on a case involving gay marriage.As well her being a liberal points she would be in support of this and her granddaughter and i speculate she supports it. (her granddaughter is a good friend of mine)
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who served as a US Supreme Court Justice from 1993 until her death in 2020, was known for her progressive ideology. She was a strong advocate for equal rights, particularly for women's rights and gender equality. Ginsburg consistently supported liberal positions on issues such as abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and affirmative action.
The justices on the US Supreme Court do not even always agree with themselves on issues regarding the US Constitution. Even justices recommended by the US President and approved by the US Senate may have disagreements with the president who nominated them.

Deliberation-the justices meet privetly to share thier opinion and discuss the case
Judicial review
A decision or opinion to which most justices agree may be called a "majority decision" or "majority opinion". When a majority agreeing to a single point-of-view issues a unified written decision, the term is "opinion of the Court."
The justice must be approved by the senate.
No. Recusal (disqualifying oneself from a case) for conflict of interest is a voluntary action; justices cannot be penalized for refusing to do so. Unfortunately, this has lead to situations where justices have heard -- and voted on -- cases in which they should not have been involved.
