"Californians Anxiously Await Word From High Court on Gay Marriage" by David G. Savage and Jessica Garrison
In the Los Angeles Times there is an article about whether the Supreme Court will follow the states on banning gay marriage. The high court has not taken action yet, but is waiting till next week to make adecision for the pening appeals of gay marriage. At the San Francisco City Hall, officials are preparing for same sex couples seeking marraige liscenses, and that are making contingency plans for demonstrations. "We will have people coming to celebrate, and people coming to get married, and it wouldn't be unusual that we would have protesters," San Francisco City Atty. spokesman Matt Dorsey said.(latimes) The justices met, to discuss Proposition eight, and cases involving the Defense of Marriage Ac, the court said that it agreed to hear the bussiness cases. The court is going to hear at least one gay marriage case. The U.S. Appeals Courts in both Boston and New York have said no to the Defense of Marriage Act, that denies federal benefits for people that are married to the same sex. This means that the federal law is constitutional in some nations, and not inothers, and so the high court must step in to resolve this issue. The government should not be allowed to tell people whom they should fall in love with and marry. That is the persons descision, and their sidnificant others, not the governemts. However, if the federal law is deciding it should be the same for all nations, not different for some and different for others.
