All Points: Courts to rule on same-sex marriage

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals could issue an opinion soon on a case in which a Texas federal judge ruled the state’s ban on same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional. The final word will come from the U.S. Supreme Court, which in April is expected to hear arguments in four cases about whether the 14th Amendment forces states to recognize same-sex marriage. A Supreme Court opinion is expected in late June. Are you prepared to live by what the highest courts say on this matter, or do you expect the nation to continue to struggle with it?
