New Court Filings in Arkansas Same Sex Marriage Case
Late this morning, the plaintiffs in the original lawsuit filed a motion asking the Arkansas Supreme Court to deny Monday's request for a stay of Piazza's order that was filed by a group of county clerks. The County Clerk Appellants' asked the court to separate White, Washington, Lonoke and Conway counties from the order.
The motion cites the appellants' contention that Piazza's order created a "lack of clarity as to the current state of the law" and says the stay "should be denied and dismissed because County Clerk Appellants have failed to allege facts or law establishing" their entitlement for the stay.

This is the paragraph that concerned me the most:
In his four-page motion, McDaniel cited the U.S Supreme Court granting stays in other same-sex marriage cases, saying, "The Supreme Court grants a stay if there is a "fair prospect that a majority of the Court will vote to reverse the judgement below. Thus as a matter of law, the Supreme Court has already indicated the likelihood that the Supreme Court will ultimately affirm state marriage laws such as Amendment 83 and Act 144 of 1997."
Any insights about the Supreme Court upholding our state's "one man, one woman" amendment?
