Yesterday the Fourth Circuit Court refused South Carolina Attorney
General Alan Wilson's demand to continue the stay on same-sex marriages
during his appeal. Almost simultaneously, a separate federal court ruled
that South Carolina must recognize
out-of-state marriages, prompting Wikipedia's marriage map monitor to
apply the above blue stripes of progress. Late last night Wilson took
his stay extension demand to SCOTUS. Barring action from that court,
marriages will commence at noon tomorrow.
