<b><i>Online Special Report</b></i> 'No Need to Rush': As State Bans on Same-sex Marriage Continue to Fall, the Supreme Court Dodges the Issue (for Now)
Cert. Denied!
On the first day of its new Term, the Supreme Court declined to take up any of the cases before it in which state same-sex marriage bans had been struck down by lower courts. To the surprise of many Court watchers, the Justices denied certiorari in the cases, which stemmed from the Fourth, Seventh and Tenth Circuits. See Bostic v. Schaefer, 760 F.3d 352 (4th Cir. July 28, 2014), cert. denied, 2014 WL 3924685 (U.S. Oct. 6, 2014) (No. 14-153), 2014 WL 4230092 (U.S. Oct. 6, 2014) (No. 14-225) & 2014 WL 4354536 (U.S. Oct. 6, 2014) (No. 14-251); Baskin v. Bogan (consolidated with Wolf v. Walker), 766 F.3d 648 (7th Cir. 2014), cert. denied, 2014 WL 4425162, 4425163 (U.S. Oct. 6, 2014) (Nos. 14-277, 14-278); Kitchen v. Herbert, 755 F.3d 1193 (10th Cir. June 25, 2014), cert. denied, 2014 WL 3841263 (U.S. Oct. 6, 2014) (No. 14-124); Bishop v. Smith, 760 F.3d 1070 (10th Cir. July 18, 2014), cert. denied, 2014 WL 3854318 (U.S. Oct. 6, 2014) (No. 14-136). As a result, same-sex couples were immediately able to marry in five more states: Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin. ”
