"Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter filed an emergency request with Kennedy and the high court early Wednesday while the state seeks to appeal the U.S. 9th Circuit Court ruling that allowed gay marriage there. Otter called the 9th Circuit's decision "an enormous federal intrusion on state power to define marriage," and his lawyers insisted there was a "strong likelihood" the Supreme Court itself would disagree with the reasoning in the 9th Circuit's opinion.
Shortly afterward, Kennedy, who handles emergency appeals from the West Coast, issued a brief order to halt same-sex marriages in Idaho and Nevada. He said lawyers for the plaintiffs in Idaho should file a response to the state's appeal.
The order may be nothing more than a legal courtesy to Idaho officials." LATimes
