Re: Supreme Court delivers wins for gay marriage movement
103 page opinion or something like that, dissents included.
I havent read the majority opinion yet but i think the headlines are misleading. to my understanding (havent read opinion yet), this case law holds that all states must recognize out-of-state same sex marriages. this case does not mean a same sex couple can get married in Texas tomorrow. This case means Texas has to recognize and treat equal a same sex couple who got married, say, new hampshire or NY or DC etc ..... I imagine a same sex couple can apply for a license in Texas, get denied then bring suit which may force the SCOTUS to overturn any state law prohibitnig the marriage. ------ http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions...4-556_3204.pdf ^^^ SCOTUS opinion Last edited by over the mountain; 06-26-2015 at 04:52 PM. |
