BREAKING: 10th Circuit Court of Appeals DENIES stay of marriage equality in Utah


Via Chris Geidner at Buzzfeed:

"Having considered the district court's decision and the parties' arguments concerning the stay factors, we conclude that a stay is not warranted.   Accordingly, we deny Defendants-Appellants' emergency motions for a stay pending appeal and for a temporary stay.  In addition, we direct expedited consideration of this appeal.  The Clerk is directed to issue a separate order setting deadlines for briefing.

Entered for the Court

Elisabeth A. Shumaker, Clerk

The state has one last resort - could ask the U.S. Supreme Court for a stay. The request would go to Justice Sotomayor.  Look for that to happen as soon as tomorrow...

It could be months before the 10th Circuit Court hears the appeal. In that time, same-sex couples will be allowed to marry in Utah!

Merry Christmas!!!
