De Facto becomes De Jure.

This is quite the twist. Atleast she saw the light and raised her daughter in a normal household.

Family law cases are almost always state issues, so the USSC leaving it alone seems correct.
I'm not even sure the US Supreme court would have jurisdiction (jurisdiction given by Congress).
Note, this is not a comment on the wisdom of the lower state courts.

The cat is out of the bag. What a mess this will be. I hope the homosexuals are happy now. Too bad the children will be the ones who suffer.

De Facto becomes De Jure. Thus becoming De Mess.

To: Abathar
I wonder if Alito and Roberts voted to pass on this case? I don't think both of them are moderates.

Nobody seems to think that these kids are being deprived of nature's natural gift of a mother and a father.
This woman raised this child for 6 years. Then the relationship was terminated, the mother married the father, and the child was told "this is the way it is". How horrible. It's like the kid is a rag doll, dragged here and there. I can't imagine her growing up with any faith in human relationships.
There is absolutely no way to do really right by this child at this point.

They can, however, read the grant of jurisidiction which says "not family law disputes."
This is a state issue to screw up as the state sees fit.

Britain and Carvin split. Britain married the sperm donor This is the part of the story that will drive the liberals nuts. One of the lesbians went straight.

Are "Live-In" boyfriends "partners" or do only Gays have that right?

I agree with your analysis of this, I really don't think they should get involved unless we pass a constitutional amendment first. Leave this to the states for now.

As much as I would love to see the SCOUS put an end to this one (as currently constituted the might get it right) I agree with you, it's a state issue.
If this was filed in my old home state, the result would have been a foregone conclusion. Yet another reason I now live in NH.

If Roberts and Alito held true to their conservative values, then they would have voted not to hear the case.
This is a matter for the states, not the federal courts.
