Downtown Salt Lake City today...

rebeccaC - actually the Utah County Clerk is refusing to abide by the ruling so far. No smiles in Provo yet. Hope he gets slammed for contempt of court.

yeah...hopefully the federal judge that ruled on it will do that even if the 10th circuit gives a stay.

with my smile attached to any license given in Utah.

edit: today the 10th circuit denied the states request for a temporary stay and to halt the weddings!

Thanks, everyone. We did it (got married) today in Vancouver, WA. We are now federally recognized as married. That brings a huge relief on what rights we now have federally (I am a veteran).

Congratulations, TrekDiana!

Re: the 10th Circuit Court denial, NBC reported:

The appeals judges, Robert E. Bacharach and Jerome A. Holmes, fast-tracked Utah's appeal, but they said they wouldn't stop the marriages in the meantime, writing that the state would have a tough time proving that letting the marriages go ahead would cause "irreparable harm" or that it had a good shot at winning its appeal.

Someone told me that fast-tracking the appeal could mean it will be heard in a matter of weeks, rather than months.

A short time for the 10th should be a few months with no party asking for an extension and then the time for oral augments and the written decisions. Thankfully the request for a stay to the Supreme Court can be decided by Sotomayor who is the Justice assigned to the 10th.
