The Sixth Circuit Appeals Court has issued a temporary stay on the recent same-sex marriage ruling in Michigan.
From the Detroit News:
The U.S. Appeals Court for the Sixth Circuit has issued a temporary stay on Michigan's gay marriage case until Wednesday.
“To allow a more reasoned consideration of the motion to stay, it is ordered that the district court’s judgment is temporarily stayed until Wednesday,” the order read.
Earlier Saturday, the appeals court issued a one-page order directing the attorneys for the same sex couple who had sought to get married to respond to Attorney General Bill Schuette's request for an emergency stay by noon Tuesday.
According to reports, before the stay was issued 323 marriage licenses were issued and more than 200 gay couples married in four counties across Michigan on Saturday. Stay tuned to see if the stay is upheld past Wednesday.
