The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday released added orders from its Friday Conference, but the list did not include any on the ten cases dealing with the same-sex marriage issue.
The court’s nine justices met in private on Friday to consider whether to review challenges to the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which denies federal benefits to married same-sex couples, and to California’s Proposition 8, a 2008 voter approved ban on same-sex marriage.
It now appears that those cases will be rescheduled for the Conference this Friday morning, reported SCOTUS Blog. An announcement could come after that session or on the following Monday.
Adam Umhoefer, Executive Director for the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER), notes that “it is important to remember that that the Supreme Court often takes more than one Conference to consider whether to grant review in certain cases.”
AFER is the sole sponsor of the federal constitutional challenge to Prop. 8.

wish I could have supreme courts pay check and continue to not do shit like them.
I wonder if the stall is putting off the inevitable; they will have no choice but to hear and rule DOMA Unconstitutional.
this is pissing me off….
The conservative side of the supreme court is going to prolong it as long as they can because they don’t want to measures to pass and the and see the laws in place fail. The conservative side is only looking for their form of justice not the constitutional correctness. Just because they are on the Supreme Court don’t mean they aren’t bigots.
Fred, I feel the same. What I have seen so far is ruling on issues that would affect economy and money for individuals or businesses. The social justice issues are just sitting. I am afraid that we won’t see them move on this till after December 21st or whatever that is. If the world doesn’t end for some, then they will move…….I’m being a bit facitious.
this is some BULL SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s some thriller ain’t it. I’m sure they’re taking their time discussing how they’re gonna go about it.
Same old waste of tax dollars paid into so-called representatives of justice who cannot be bothered to execute the most basic acts of justice in a timely manner when their decisions are needed the most.
