Via JMG: BREAKING: SCOTUS Denies Review In All Seven Marriage Equality Cases
Via
USA Today:
The Supreme Court refused
to get involved in the national debate over same-sex marriage Monday,
leaving intact lower court rulings that will legalize the practice in 11
additional states. The unexpected decision by the justices, announced
without further explanation, immediately affects five states in which
federal appeals courts had struck down bans against gay marriage:
Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Utah.
It also will bring along six
other states located in the judicial circuits overseen by those
appellate courts: North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia,
Colorado, Kansas and Wyoming. The action will bring to 30 the number of
states where gays and lesbians can marry. Appeals courts in Cincinnati
and San Francisco are considering cases that could expand that number
further, presuming the Supreme Court remains outside the legal fray.
