Abstract

While all eyes have been on the end of the U.S. Supreme Court’s term, as it issued important rulings on, among other things, Obamacare’s contraceptive mandate, other courts have been busy as well. At the end of June, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit held that Utah’s ban on marriages by same-sex couples violates the federal Constitution’s guarantees of equal protection and due process.
