Correct. I mean if the SC refused to hear the argument and threw it back on the appeals court, then their ruling should stand.

Court Upholds Marriage Bans in Four States

A federal appeals court in Ohio upheld on Thursday the right of four states to ban same-sex marriage, contradicting rulings by four similar courts and almost certainly sending the issue on a rapid trajectory to the Supreme Court.

The much-anticipated decision, written by Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton, an appointee of George W. Bush, overturned lower court rulings in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee that were in favor of same-sex marriage.

“This is the circuit split that will almost surely produce a decision from the Supreme Court, and sooner rather than later,” said Dale Carpenter, a professor of constitutional law at the University of Minnesota. “It’s entirely possible that we could have oral arguments in coming months and a Supreme Court decision by next summer.”

Oh goodness no! Don't you remember? In Windsor (attorneys for the LGBT cult tell us) the state's rights to decide on gay marriage only includes the "right" to just say "yes". Choosing "no" isn't allowed. So now that choosing "no" has been upheld, you're going to see some discipline from SCOTUS on the 6th's decision. That's how fascism works. It picks what it likes and then allows you the freedom of choice to agree with it....only.... At least you got to choose!
