So Goes Utah, So Goes the Rest of the Nation: U.S. Supreme Court says "Hold (up), Wait, Let's Think About This!"


Well, the U.S. Supreme Court has put a "hold" on marriage equality in Utah.  No one seems surprised.  Justice Sotomayor received the request, and now the justices have put a "hold" on marriage equality in Utah while the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals reviews the case...again.

Everyone who knows legal issues better than I do says "nothing to worry about," and that this is pro-forma.

This is a marathon!  900 lesbian and gay couples were issued marriage licenses. This "hold" reminds us exactly who are second class citizens.

All this in the land of polygamy.

Pax!
