    Yay! (I literally live right above that state. I don't see why the appeals process has to be so dragged out though.)

    Yes, another good win, but like prussianblue said, I hate how long the appeals process drags on even when it's "expedited" If they'd stop putting the stays on the decisions it wouldn't be so bad. From what I've read about the reasons to grant a stay, I don't see how any of these cases qualify, yet they pretty much all get an automatic stay.

    I'd like to be more excited, but every time, these are 'stayed pending appeal', and in effect, nothing has really changed. Nobody's getting married. And the Supreme Court could undo this as fast as you can say Scalia.

    Plus, Kennedy has been wavering as of late...I can't say I can count on him, with any certainty.

    These wins are all very nice, but I'd like to have some closure.
