Prop 8 Case Tossed 5 to 4

++By 5 to 4, Roberts,Scalia,Breyer, Ginsberg and Kagan being the majority punted and dismissed the case because the plaintiffs did not have standing in the court because the State of California would not defend Prop 8. The Supreme Court orders the U.S. Court of Appeals decision has no legal force and sent the case back and ordered the Court to dismiss the case. So same sex marriage stands in California and people can still marry. But the Court avoided the broad decision to make same sex marriage constitutional everywhere. The decision was telegraphed by Ruth Bader Ginsberg in the early days of the argument that Roe versus Wade was a sweeping Court decision that created an endless backlash that lasts until this day and that the Court should avoid sparking the same in same sex marriage.
