The justices have agreed to hear four different cases from Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee- all states that currently prohibit homosexual marriages.
The move is a radical departure from what many have expected as the issue has been conspicuously dodged by the Supreme Court on several occasions.
Though 32 states have enacted state bans on same-sex marriage, the federal government has worked feverishly over the past few years to overturn these bans, often with conflicting court rulings. Currently, 14 states maintain prohibitions on homosexual marriages and though the majority of states passed laws to uphold traditional marriage as the definition of marriage, 36 states now issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, thanks to judicial activists on the bench.

oh well, one day "they" are going to have to take it up with the ultimate judge, God.
The court will never reinstate the bans after refusing to stop marriages. Then won't undo marriages they purposely let happen.
Good, marriage is within the Church, and Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or the free exercise thereof, so that applies to the Supreme Court as well.
When this causes confusion, see Amendment 10."The powers delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the People.
In other words, the Supreme court has no business here, period.
Marriage is between a man and a woman. Not some stupid e-coli licking Homo's.
One of the chief reason for striking down these bans is if they were passed due to animus toward gay people. 11:01 is a good example of why they are struck down.
