U.S. Supreme Court clears same-sex marriage in Kansas
Kansas is a shit hole of right wing nuts! So this is MAJOR news.
The state voted 70% against Gay marriage. So I hope those 70% are really pissed off tonight!!!!!!
The U.S. Supreme Court late Wednesday afternoon cleared the way for same-sex marriage in Kansas.
The high court issued a two-paragraph order refusing to further halt a lower-court ruling allowing same-sex couples to wed as the state defends its ban on such marriages.
The ruling offered no explanation other than to say that Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas would have granted Kansas’ request to delay the order.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree issued a preliminary injunction barring Kansas from enforcing its ban on same-sex marriage.
Crabtree’s ruling was set to take effect at 5 p.m. Tuesday. But Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor temporarily halted the order Monday night so the state could make its case for keeping the same-sex marriage ban in place.
