Supreme Court Takes No Action on Gay Marriage Cases

Could cease silence on Monday

Supreme Court justices met privately Friday to discuss whether they'd hear and rule on cases that could determine if there is a fundamental right to same-sex marriage. However, they emerged with no decision made. The Court could act on Monday when it is scheduled to release orders, or discuss the cases again in their next scheduled conference on next Friday. At issue in the cases is the Defense of Marriage Act, and California's Prop 8 which defines marriage as between a man and a woman, and passed with 52 percent of the vote. (ABC)
