SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A federal judge has allowed gay marriage in Utah to continue.
Judge Richard Shelby on Monday denied a request by the state that sought to halt gay marriage until the appeals process plays out.
The same judge overturned Utah's ban on same-sex marriage Friday, ruling it is unconstitutional.

Not exactly. Removal from office specifically requires 2/3 of US Senators present, as per the Constitution.
really! That is what the article says, but I thought reading the article was snarky!
That county clerk is Sherrie Swensen.
Go read a book on judicial appointees.
He’s been snarky and condescending since his first post. I’d ignore him from now on.
Then the people have recourse! They can simply pressure the elected clerks not to side with out-of-state communists and REFUSE to issue the licenses.
Ms. Swensen formerly served as the Director of Administration for the Utah State
Democratic Party. Prior to that, she worked for the United Transportation Union
The Democratic Party is proud to honor the 2010 Eleanor Roosevelt Award Recipient, Salt Lake County Clerk Sherrie Swensen
Ugh. What a swine.
DJ MacWoW: “Most Republicans are Dems”
whatever we do JS93, keep in mind the assessment of DJ Mac
Funny, yeah. But sarcasm aside, you'd probably get more accomplished mounting up with your saber at your side than reading another worthless book from some ineffectual, elitist pundit. All the talking, book reading and intellectual smugness of the last 30 years have gotten us nowhere but the brink of our Republic's collapse. Now is the time for action. The elitist eggheads have outlived their usefulness.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
You're right. I'm starting to think the Obammunists are testing the resolve of the conservative movement, kind of like China tested Dubya by ramming our P-3 Orion back in April of 2001. He knuckled under to the Commies, and Osama Bin Laden was watching.
Either that, or the Obammunist is simply trying to goad us into a fight. Either way, a show of weakness is always rewarded with more of the same, so there's a lot riding on Utah's response.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Justice Roberts might as well have been appointed by Obama considering his hand in helping Obamacare become law, but lets thank George W. Bush for that.
Fear is a lousy motivation to vote for someone.
Facts tell me that both major parties are taking this country deeper into debt, spending more money and even raising taxes with the recent budget deal.
The big debate over Obamacare between D’s and R’s is a debate over in state markets versus interstate markets where people are being forced to buy health insurance.
How about reversing the mandate to buy medical insurance???
If the GOP doesn’t want to reverse the mandate to buy health insurance they might as well call themselves the Obamacare Light Party or perhaps more appropriately the Romneycare Party.
Romney’s mandate to buy medical coverage came first in MA before Obama’s nationwide mandate.
