The Chief Justice basically presented the motion for stay to the court itself according to the order. There was no indication of how they decided or what kind of vote. The general consensus amongst many is that the Supreme Court is possibly just waiting for all the Federal Circuits to make their decisions before they themselves get involved.
I hope the Supreme Court takes the cases and eventually rules that homosexual marriage is up to the states. However, I am not getting my hopes up because it just seems inevitable. But maybe the 10th Amendment will prevail.

They better clarify what “Up to the states means”.
It’s possible that it would include a state judge or even the state’s supreme court OVER-RULING a referendum or legislature.
