Federal Judge Rules Utah ban on same sex marriage unconstitutional

++In polling on same sex marriage,Utah has always come up as among the lowest 5 states in polling. With New Mexico's ruling in favor of same sex marriage,gay rights advocates felt they were coming to the end of low hanging fruit. Only Michigan and Virginia show public polling that makes it possible for same sex marriage becoming legal in the next few years.

++But now a Federal Judge using the Supreme Court rulings of the past summer ruled Utah's prohibitions were unconstitutional. The order came down at 2pm and people were getting married at 3pm. 

++It's too soon to tell whether the wall of state constitutions prohibiting same sex marriages will come tumbling down. But--UTAH!, center of the Mormon Church?. It is an incredible moment.
