• The Supreme Court declines to wade into marriage battles in five states.
• As a result, lower court rulings stand and same-sex couples can now marry in those states.
• The Supreme Court is initially handed reporters a set of orders that was missing 30 pages.
• It's refusal to tackle the marriage cases was contained within those 30 pages.
Connection to Question, ways power is shared among the three branches:
• Judicial Branch 1. Enforces the laws 2. Makes the laws
• Supreme Court: Rejects appeals in 5 states, now allowing gay marriage.
Opinion:
• I believe it's great that the Supreme Court rejected the appeals for gay marriage. I mean it's not really a constitutional matter anyway. And in my opinion I believe everyone should love whoever they want to love. We're in a day and age where liking the same sex is normal and I think everyone should get that memo again and just accept people for who they are. We are all meant to be equal with equal rights. And marrying whoever you want should be a natural right.
Questions:
• Do you think that the Supreme Court should have heard the appeals/cases or do you agree with them rejecting the cases? Why or why not?
• Do you think cases that are this debatable and controversial should be left to the lower courts decision? Why or why not?
