Supreme Court Silent on Marriage Rulings

October 13, 2014 by Enquiry Editor in Volume 2 Issue 7, Taylor Elicegui

On October 6th, the Supreme Court denied seven petitions for writs of certiorari to review same-sex marriage cases from three Courts of Appeals. In doing so, the Supreme Court refused to interfere with decisions that overturned bans on same-sex marriage in Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Utah. The course charted by the Supreme Court allows lower courts to continue to address the issue.

In reality, it stifles freedom of thought and prevents students from examining history from a variety of perspectives.
