Sotomayor On Gay Marriage… Sort Of. Senator Chuck Grassley today, in the Sonia Sotomayor Supreme Court hearings, asked the Judge to comment on a particular gay marriage case. The LA Times reports,
“Did she agree, he asked, that the case, Baker vs. Nelson, reserved the question of marriage to the states?
“In Baker, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that two men could be denied a marriage license because Minnesota law limited marriage to men and women.
“As she has with other topics, Sotomayor said she couldn’t comment because questions about marriage are pending in many courts and might reach the Supreme Court.”
“The judge replied that she had not reviewed Baker in some time but offered to review the case overnight and report on it Thursday. Grassley said he would welcome that.”
