BREAKING: SCOTUS to Rule on Marriage Equality

SCOTUSblog reports at 3:39PM Eastern:

Taking on a historic constitutional challenge with wide cultural impact, the Supreme Court on Friday afternoon agreed to hear four new cases on same-sex marriage. The Court said it would rule on state power to ban gay and lesbian marriage and state power to refuse to recognize such marriages performed out of state. A total of one hour and ninety minutes was set for the hearings, likely in the April sitting.

The Court fashioned the specific questions it is prepared to answer, but they closely tracked the two core constitutional issues that have led to a lengthy string of lower-court rulings striking down state bans. As of now, same-sex marriages are allowed in thirty-six states, with bans remaining in the other fourteen but under court challenge.

…and literally 18 minutes later I had the first donation request from Freedom2Marry citing it as a reason to give. Give’m credit: the ‘mos are ON IT!

So who will be the first of 2016 Goat Rodeo Contenders to bring up a Constitutional Amendment to ban marriage equality?
