No Stay in DC

The news has just this moment reached my ears that the Supreme Court today (meaning, in this case, Chief Justice Roberts) refused to grant a requested stay of Washington DC's implementation of marriage equality starting tomorrow, Wednesday, 3 March 2010. Take all the negatives out of that sentence and it means that, starting tomorrow morning, same-sex couples may apply for marriage licenses in Washington, DC.

This is a very heartening development. One wonders whether the arguments of Olson & Boies in Perry v. Schwarzenegger have had an influence.
