UTAH: State Files SCOTUS Reply To Plaintiffs’ Brief Opposing Marriage Stay

On Friday, the good guys filed a SCOTUS brief opposing Utah Gov. Gary Herbert’s demand for a stay on gay marriages while the Tenth Circuit Court considers their appeal. Today the state fired back with a reply brief. As you’ll recall, the plaintiffs’ brief denounced the state’s citation of the Regnerus study and noted that Regnerus was denounced by the very journal that first published his work. In today’s reply, the state essentially says, “Nuh-uh! It is too a valid study!” Dig into their reply at the second link. (Via Equality Case Files)
