On Monday, Justice Sotomayor granted a temporary stay to Kansas regarding the recent same-sex marriage ruling from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Today, SCOTUS issued it's decision and it's for the good guys. No stay for Kansas.
Only Justices Scalia and Thomas would have granted the stay, making the decision 7-2 against Kansas.
Kansas can head to the 10th Circuit, but seeing how that appellate court has already set precedent - AND the Supreme Court has given that ruling it's blessing - don't look for the 10th to reverse itself any time soon.
Expect marriage licenses to be issued to same-sex couples immediately.
Marriage equality is coming to Kansas, kids!
