The Supreme Court has denied review of several pending gay marriage cases, it announced today. What does this mean? It means that for now, the Supreme Court has sent the message that it doesn???t want to step into the debate regarding gay marriage. It also means that same sex couples in Indiana, Virginia, Utah, Oklahoma and Wisconsin will be able to marry in short order. It sends a strong signal, that for now the Court wants this issue to percolate in the states. The Court could step in and take another case down the road, but for now it is staying out. |
