Utah files Amendment 3 Appeal with the Supreme Court of the United States It was reported earlier today, that Utah has officially filed its appeal with the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). Seeking a reversal of the 10th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruling – on the matter of same sex…
Plaintiffs, and attorneys from both sides of the issue, are preparing to face off – once again – over the legality of same-sex marriage.
