Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has accepted Pam Bondi’s petition asking to extend the stay on a ruling striking down Florida’s same-sex marriage ruling. What’s next?
Late this afternoon SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas called for a response from the plaintiffs in a Florida same-sex marriage case. Late yesterday, Attorney General Pam Bondi filed an extensive emergency petition asking Justice Thomas to extend a stay due to expire after January 5.Â
Justice Thomas could have ignored the petition, or sent it to the full court, but it appears he has made the decision himself to consider the stay request.
That decision is unsurprising, given that Justice Thomas had made clear in other stay requests that were denied he would granted them.
Stay tuned.
