The Supremes want to keep without lyrics

Splitting 5-4, the Supreme Court on Wednesday blocked any television broadcast to the general public of the San Francisco federal court challenge to California’s ban on same-sex marriage. The stay will remain in effect until the Court rules on a coming appeal challenging the TV order. The Court, chastizing lower courts for attempting “to change its rules at the eleventh hour,” issued a 17-page opinion. The ruling came out nearly 40 minutes after an earlier temporary order blocking TV had technically expired.
