Same-sex marriage is once again on Justice Anthony Kennedy’s plate, this time in a request for a stay by the National Organization for Marriage, which seeks to intervene to defend on appeal Oregon’s law limiting marriage to man-woman unions.
Kennedy on Wednesday afternoon asked the opponents of Oregon’s same-sex marriage ban to reply to NOM’s request by 1 p.m. on June 2. Last June, Kennedy was the author of the 5-4 decision in U.S. v. Windsor, striking down the definition of marriage in the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
