    Suits me just fine. Dials back, potentially, the reflexive tendency to look to the Supremes to weigh in on anything/everything.

    It's an important decision. If it gets ugly, it'll get shut down pronto.

    Five SCOTUS judges: IRS: Obama "evolving" (evolving my ass) puppetry.

    So, essentially, if a red state defends a gay marriage ban all the way through the court system, the Supreme Court will have to decide it, right? They won't have the standing obstacle at that point.

    No, it should be in politics. Quit making allowances when it suits the left wing of this board please. We should all live by the same rules.

    It is coming out of Washington on a political issue landing in the courts. Put it on the politics board.

    So did they punt or not? I'm confused by the thread title versus what I've read elsewhere
