No court ruling on same-sex marriage

Hurrah! Another defeat for opponents of gay marriage -- who in my book are bigots, plain and simple. They are no different than the supporters of segregation in the 50s. Ever heard of equal rights, folks?

I don't know how long this will last with the Supreme Court likely to take a turn toward the more conservative soon, but at least for now one attack has been deflated.

No court ruling on same-sex marriage: "'There are lots of reasons the Supreme Court could refuse to hear a case,' said Volokh, who specializes in constitutional law. 'However, in this case, it's pretty clear: The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decided that the Massachusetts Constitution mandates recognition of same-sex marriage, and the Massachusetts Constitution is the business of the Massachusetts courts. The US Supreme Court will not intervene on matters that have only to do with state law.'"
