Justices Kennedy and Scalia and their divide on gay rights

[DonViejo]

1. Last October, the Supreme Court blocked Wisconsin from putting its new voter ID

into effect. The Supremes didn't issue a reason for blocking the law, but;

...Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia, and Clarence Thomas dissented, arguing that they cannot block an appeals court unless it “clearly and demonstrably erred in its application of accepted standards.”

That rationale would appear to be behind, in part, the Court not overturning more than a few of the SSM cases that reached it on appeal. It will be interesting to see which appeals court, the pro SSM decision or the no SSM one, in making their final decision.
