Supreme Court Defers Action on Same-Sex Marriage Cases

Lyle Denniston reports that the Supreme Court “took no action Friday on the ten same-sex marriage cases now on the docket.”

“The next opportunity for the Court to issue orders will be at 9:30 a.m. Monday… It may be that the Court needs more time to decide what it wants to do next on any of the cases… It is not uncommon, in cases that have some complexity, for the Court to require more than one Conference sitting to decide how to proceed.”

    It seems they realize how important their decision to hear these cases will be. They have the potential to decide cases that would not only void DOMA, but could also strike down state constitutional amendments banning gay marriage and possibly even establish a federal right to gay marriage.

    Scalia and Thomas need time to figure out how they can make this benefit the GOP.
