The Supreme Court has set April 28 as the date for historic arguments on gay marriage.
The justices agreed in January to definitively answer whether the Constitution allows states to ban same-sex marriage. A ruling is expected by the end of the term in late June.
The court granted cases from Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee. It will decide whether states can refuse to issue marriage licenses to gay couples and whether they can refuse to recognize same-sex marriages legally performed elsewhere.

“the Supreme Court will affirm the President of Sodom’s wishes for the fate of the United States.”
More than likely will kick it back down.
The fix is in. Nothing will go the way it is supposed to.
Does that mean they’ll allow all the overturned bans to stand?
The Fix was in from Day 1 going back to Lawrence v. Texas. The Pro-Marriage had a shot with a Constitutional amendment after the Mass SCOT imposed SSM on Mass and the nation erupted with anger. I am not 100% sure what happened but one had cowards like McCain and splits in the Traditionalist movement that resulted in the toothless DOMA that the SCOTUS swatted away.
Anyone who doesn’t see that by now, well, I’m not sure what to say about them.
I would like to remind everybody that our Beloved Republican Majority in Congress could stop this cold TODAY if they wanted to.
article 3, section 2 US Constitution
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
“with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.”
The supreme Court Shall remain Silent on the issue of Marriage.
Game Over.
I was so naive back then. Just a young punk in my 20’s. I thought a constitutional amendment was just a trick like flag burning bans. It seemed so unnecessary at the time. But if you think about: how much more teeth would that amendment have than the 10th amendment?
Maybe those black robe tyrants can approve of this. You know those sick people want this to be seen as “normal’ then they will prey upon younger children and so on.

Only because CONGRESS refuse to exert their authority under Article 3, section 2

I’d like to know what the states are going to argue to defend their prohibitions on gay marriage.
SCOTUS will sell us down the river on this one as well as Obamacare.
Each state has to be prepared to go their own way and use the 10th amendment to fight the gay marriage rulings. Al and TX are doing it. I hope we will do it in GA.
Yep. And not just this case.
Did all, or any, of the four states prohibit same-sex marriage by voting of the citizens? I’m puzzled why some were chosen, and some states were not. Is there any difference between the manner that the four states prohibited ss marriage?

If the Supreme Court kicks it back down, does the fight then become state by state?
Courts have declared laws unconstitutional even when the Congress forbade it.
Change the culture = the law will follow.
“Did all, or any, of the four states prohibit same-sex marriage by voting of the citizens? I’m puzzled why some were chosen, and some states were not. Is there any difference between the manner that the four states prohibited ss marriage?”
The four states included are the four states in the 6th Circuit. That’s the only circuit where the judges ruled that gay marriage is unconstitutional. All the other circuits’ judges have ruled for gay marriage.
Sorry - I wrote that wrong. I should have said that the 6th Circuit is the only one to uphold the rights of the states to make their own decisions regarding gay marriage. All other circuits have said that anti-gay marriage laws are unconstitutional.
Then all of the lower court rulings that overturned traditional marriage in many states will stand.
