Coming Up: Appeals Court Hears Marriage Arguments
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear gay marriage arguments from Wisconsin and Indiana on Tuesday. Both states lifted marriage bans in June, but appeals were lodged and nuptials halted once again, a process replicated in Florida earlier this week. SCOTUS has hedged its bets so far — on Wednesday it overruled a federal appeals court that refused to delay the impact of its ruling in Virginia — but the justices will be greeted by a sheaf of new petitions when they return from recess in September.
