Same-sex marriage petitions denied ... wow

SCOTUSBlog is reporting that the Supreme Court has "denied review of all seven of the petitions arising from challenges to state bans on same-sex marriage." This is a surprise. It is also irresponsible. To allow the redefinition of marriage for such a large segment of the American population on the basis of emanations from Windsor is not right. It's true there is no circuit split yet, but there seems little question that the Fourth, Seventh, and Tenth Circuits have "decided an important question of federal law that has not been, but should be, settled by [the Supreme] Court."
