Yes, Kennedy is in favor of homosexual marriage. So it seems odd he would set aside this ruling.
To: HOYA97
WTH? Kennedy is the one who set this whole process in motion. Without his opinion, the courts would not be overturning the bans. What in the world is he thinking?

Perhaps Kennedy is forcing the Supreme Court to take up the issue?My thought exactly. This cannot be good.

I thought Nevada was issuing marriage licenses to queers, anyway.

The money quote from the article: The high court's action Monday suggested that only an appellate ruling upholding a gay marriage ban would prompt the court to step in.

So am I. He wrote his last gay marriage opinion in such a way as to encourage appeals courts to strike down bans in order to keep SCOTUS’ hands clean. Now he wants to take this one in his lap?
To: HOYA97
Scotus will have to decide if they let lower courts do their work or they make decision
Homo marriage to be decided by states
Or appeals court fiat
What a mess
Thank 14th amendment

This order seems to be based on technical considerations.Good thing to know. I was afraid at first it might be based on decency, morality or even respect for the will of the people, but all those are clearly irrelevant to our federal courts today.
To: HOYA97
Doesn’t mean a thing. After all, it was Kennedy that basically opin3e that laws defining marriage traditionally were only motivated by an intent to discriminate and exclude.
To: DJ MacWoW

Apparently they are too.
The Justices don't want states issuing marriage licenses until after the 2014 elections to avoid motivating and mobilizing anti gay marriage voters

Really weird. Doesn’t it only take four justices for the Supreme Court to hear a case? Alito, Scalia and Thomas are three. You would think Kennedy’s decision here would mean four.
To: rdcbn
If that’s the case they already blew it.
