Scotusblog has information on their site regarding the Emergency Request (by these individuals who, I understand, were told they have no standing).

You know, for a time, I'd like to disengage from our foes (nice as they are). I'm sure I'll bump into them again (real soon), So...begone!.

This has been a dream...a long one, but a dream. On this blistering day, "...justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty [cool] stream."

Craig, it's clear they wanted to get their hands on the case. But the standing issue was such a glaring one. And the delay (a year?) of going to the CASC was so peculiar. If they'd have simply said, "You don't have standing" the Proponents clearly would have appealed that to SCOTUS, and we'd have been--at least--a year ahead. I'm happy, of course, with the outcome, but the 9th seemed to grandstand. We have all of Judge Walkers Findings of Fact left intact. I'm very grateful for that.

Clearly our opponents--as we've seen--will make this as "messy and complicated" as they can. However, we have a broad ruling by SCOTUS establishing that trying to limit benefits on a minority is unconstitutional. That should make it less "messy and complicated."

I think the 9th Circuit needs to get a lesson on "standing." Chastised once in the Arizona case, they simply pushed back with the Prop 8 appeal. This could have been resolved at the time of the appeal, but we had to wait a year.

They're saying "30 days" to implement, but that's only what they're saying.I have a friend who is very ill with cancer and his partner is in US on a student visa. They're traveling to a nearby state (where marriage is legal) to wed, so the partner can become a legal citizen.
