<b><i>Online Special Report</b></i> 'No Need to Rush': As State Bans on Same-sex Marriage Continue to Fall, the Supreme Court Dodges the Issue (for Now)

To the surprise of many Court watchers, the Justices denied certiorari in the cases, which stemmed from the Fourth, Seventh and Tenth Circuits. As a result, same-sex couples were immediately able to marry in five more states: Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.
