#more-226188Scotus Blog: Seven-lawyer line-up for same-sex marriage hearings?

By Lyle Denniston on Mar 17, 2015 at 4:06 pm

 

If the Supreme Court agrees to plans made by lawyers involved in the same-sex marriage cases, seven attorneys will take turns at the lectern for the two-and-a-half-hour hearing on April 28. Both sides in the four cases sent in their proposals on Tuesday, responding to the Court’s request for them to coordinate.

 

The lawyers were told that the Court would hold ninety minutes of argument on the power of states to ban marriage of same-sex couples, and one hour on the power of states to refuse to recognize existing same-sex marriages. The Obama administration is asking permission to argue only on the first question. Scissors-32x32.png
