No DOMA/Prop 8 Decision from Supreme Court

6/13/2013

0 Comments

 
The United States Supreme Court ended today's session without issuing a decision in Windsor v. United States or Hollingsworth v. Perry. The court will reconvene on Monday, June 17, 2013. The SCOTUS blog will start its live blogging at 930 a.m. on Monday. They will carry live coverage of the decisions being issued. SCOTUS blog is an excellent source of information on the U.S. Supreme Court.

FYI, SCOTUS is an acronym for Supreme Court of the United States.

As of now, the Court has listed Monday, June 17 as the last day to issue decisions. However, it may add additonal days next week. I think the Court will wait until the last possible moment to issue its decisions on affirmative action, the Voting Rights Act, DOMA and Prop 8 because all four cases will generate considerable response from the media and the public. The Justices may want to leave town before the decisions see the light of day.

In any event, it is an exciting time to be watching the court. These 4 decisions will have great impact on the lives of so many Americans.
