WASHINGTON, June 26 (UPI) -- Officials say same-sex marriage will resume in California following a ruling in the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday, but will require further federal court action.
The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling, said challengers to a federal court ruling striking down Proposition 8, which limited marriage to a man and a woman, did not have "standing" -- they could not show they suffered injury from a federal judge's injunction against the law. The high court majority dismissed the challenge, leaving the lower court order in place.
