Hat tip to our own Scottie Thomaston, pasting posting at Equality on Trial.
The Supreme Court has just REJECTED Florida's request for a stay on a federal district court ruling overturning that state's marriage equality ban.
The link was slow to load but here it is!!!!
Quick background. District Court ruled in one of multiple challenges to the Florida's marriage equality ban that the state's ban was unconstitutional. A temporary stay was issued which expires at 1/5/15 at midnight. State AG Pam Bondi requested an extension from the Eleventh Circuit. She was turned down. She requested one from Supreme Court Justice Thomas who referred it to the full court. The court (with Thomas and Scalia dissenting) declined to extend the stay.
Not only do we have a good idea as to how the Eleventh Circuit will ultimately rule, we also have a pretty good idea as to how the Supreme Court will rule when they eventually--but hopefully soon--hear a marriage equality case.
