What is new on the Gay Marriage front?

SCOTUS denies stay in Kansas

So ... like ... if they side with the 6th after all, then they're just adding MORE marriages they'd have to annul later? What an odd way to do things.

The justices and particularly their top notch clerks were well aware of what they were doing on October 6. Does anyone honestly think they wanted to toy with the marriage laws of three dozen states only to reverse them at a later time?
 
So can Scalia and Thomas' "dissents" be seen as "We're going to lose here, and we DON'T like it!"?
 
The momentum is building. Scalia can't get past his pre-Vatican II Catholicism, unlike most of us in the Roman Church.
That is not a valid argument against equal protection now that we all understand that "it" isn't a mental disorder.

"They" may have just voted us back to a fiscal cliff in time, but they can't stop this train from hitting Grand Central at full speed.
IMHO

What is interesting is that Roberts and Alito did not enter a dissent.

But neither did Scalia or Thomas object to lifting the stay in Idaho, as I understand it (decision was unanimous).

The fat lady has sung and is starting to warm up her vocal cords on full marriage equality.

Indeed. To me it indicates that this may not be a 5-4 decision after all.

I'm not holding my breath. I still think it will be 5-4 with a small, small chance Roberts will make it 6-3.
 
It looks like Mississippi's ban will be thrown out soon:

Analysis: Judge likely will overturn gay marriage ban

[Judge] Reeves grilled the state's defense of its gay marriage ban on almost every issue raised during the roughly five hours of arguments presented in a hearing for Campaign for Southern Equality v. Phil Bryant. At the same time, he appeared sympathetic to the plaintiffs who want the ban overturned.

According to the article, Judge Reeves has a background in civil rights activism.
 
Ummm ..... wouldn't a state AG realize that a federal court order trumps their state supreme court? Does the circuit court now need to clarify that marriage has arrived statewide? These guys REALLY do look like the "Segregation Now! Segregation Forever!" crowd of yore.

Kansas state officials and clerks balk at federal court order.

It appears that only Johnson County is holding off since they are technically barred by the State Supreme Court until the injunction is lifted. This is similar to what happened with the county that jumped the gun in Pennsylvania. I expect it to be resolved by the end of next week.

In a press release today NOM approaches - would you call it insurrection?

National Organization for Marriage Urges Kansas To Refuse To Accept Gay Marriage Order and To Press Its Case To The United States Supreme Court

Washington, D.C. — The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today sharply condemned the United States Supreme Court for refusing to grant a stay of a federal judge's order imposing same-sex marriage in Kansas, and called on Governor Sam Brownback to order local clerks to refuse to issue marriage licenses that violate Kansas law defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
