SCOTUS places 5 states' marriage equality appeals on September 29th agenda for consideration

The US Supreme Court has officially added requests for review from 5 states - Utah, Oklahoma, Virginia, Indiana and Wisconsin - regarding marriage equality to the justices' conference agenda on September 29th.

This will be the first opportunity for the nine justices to review requests from those states who have seen their same-sex marriage bans ruled unconstitutional.

However, the justices may or may not decide to take up one, many or none of the cases immediately. Considering other developments currently being considered on the issue, in the 9th and 6th Circuit Courts of Appeal for example, the justices may take additional time before choosing whether or not to add any of the cases to the immediate docket which begins October 6th.
