The Supreme Court on Friday gave its blessing to same-sex marriage in Idaho after halting a lower court ruling earlier this week which struck down the state’s ban.
“The application for stay presented to Justice Kennedy and by him referred to the Court is denied. The orders heretofore entered by Justice Kennedy are vacated,” the Supreme Court said in a brief order issued late afternoon.
There were no recorded dissents in the decision.
And the RW, christofascist merde is about to hit the wood chipper!
In 1…2…3.

This is Kennedy’s Circuit. It was simply a stay. Nobody can “dissent” to something like this. TPM really needs to hire a lawyer to consult on this stuff.
Actually you’re wrong. It is Kennedy’s circuit but he has the option of taking the matter to the full court. He probably did that and everyone agreed to let it go.
As I said at the time, Kennedy simply wanted all the t’s crossed and i’s dotted.
Have you ever seen a “dissent” to an order vacating a stay?
