Interesting how these cases came about.
Rather than take up the issue of homosexual marriage again, the Supreme Court declined to take up the issue, but also declined to issue stays on the lower court orders.
So the net effect is that homosexual marriage begins today in many states, in the circuits covered by these lower court rulings.
By choosing not to make a decision, the Supreme Court made a decision to let homosexual marriage spread from 19 to as many as 30 states.
Why don’t they have the guts to come out and say they believe that there is a constitutional right to homosexual marriage?
Instead, they have chosen a back door, low impact method of allowing homosexual marriage to take root in more and more places, without deciding a damn thing on the constitutionality of the core issue.
The reason is because it is a long held SCOTUS maxim to let societal changes happen slowly. Be assured they will approve it Nationwide at some point. That is as sure as the sun shining. But Justices, regardless of political leanings, will act this way. Not even 4 Justices voted to hear it. They didn’t leave those Circuit Court decisions in place to rule against Gay “marriage” later.
They MAY take it up this term if another Circuit rules the other way but just don’t see any remaining Circuit doing that ... at least not en banc anyway. Lower Court Judges know EXACTLY what SCOTUS is doing and they will not go against them.
