What needs to happen in all the states forced to legalize gay marriage is for the IRS and State taxing agencies to audit all married gay’s tax returns. Now that their marriages are “legal” where two spouses work they are required to file as Married Filing Jointly, or Married Filing Separately. Prior to this they would have filed two separate single tax returns and would have paid a total tax less than a heterosexual couple under either Married filing status.

Now the gays can pay the same marriage tax penalty straight couples have been paying for decades. If gays file separate single returns they should be prosecuted for tax fraud and go to jail. Where they’ll experience a different kind of sexual encounter.

Solution; States should get out of the marriage business. Let it become a religious cerimony or a federal contract.

Huh? SCOTUS denies cert on the other cases but blocks the 9th Circus’ ruling?

It’s a good thing, but color me confused.

...after the U.S. Supreme Court effectively legalized same-sex marriage in 30 other states.

I know a lot of people around here and elsewhere have been bashing the SCOTUS for refusing to take cert on those cases that have struck down state laws banning gay marriage. Question: How many of those cases were decided at least in part under the state constitution? I ask because the SCOTUS has no business deciding state constitutional questions except to the extent that the state constitution conflicts with the federal constitution.

If Kennedy is granting a stay here, it seems that it was probably Roberts who stood in the way of hearing the other cases.

I read earlier that it was Scalia, not Kennedy. That is really something if it was Kennedy. Wowzer.

Update: Justice Kennedy has lifted his stay as to Nevada, but left it in place as to Idaho.

Again, I wouldn't read too much into this: apparently, the Idaho AG was the only one to ask for a stay; Kennedy initially stayed the Ninth Circuit's entire order, bu then realized that Nevada hadn't asked him for a stay.

These Judges apparently have no fear of God, perhaps they need some fear on earth.

I agree that it should be up to the states to decide gay marriage, after all, that’s what the 10th amendment is for.

I think the Supreme Court has decided that we are in a midst of societal change. Thus that’s why gay marriage is formally legalized in soon to be all 50 states.

Just my .02 worth.
