Afternoon round-up: Today’s orders in the same-sex marriage cases
on Oct 6, 2014 at 5:09 pm
This morning the Court issued additional orders from the Justices’ September 29 Conference, including orders in which it denied review of all seven petitions arising out of challenges to state bans on same-sex marriage. Writing for this blog, Amy Howe discusses the denied petitions, and Lyle Denniston reviews the consequences of those denials in the different states. Suzanne Goldberg weighed in on the significance of the denials as part of our symposium.
