Charles Ware's "SCOTUS" UPDATE: The Supreme Court and Gay Marriage

Marriage arguments March 26-27 in the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS):

The Supreme Court on Monday released the schedule of oral arguments for the sitting that begins March 18, showing that the two cases on same-sex marriage will be heard — one on each day — on Tuesday, March 26, and Wednesday, March 27. The case on California’s “Proposition 8″ will come first, followed by the case on the constitutionality of the federal Defense of Marriage Act; each case is scheduled for one hour of argument, although the fact that each is to be heard alone will allow the argument time to be expanded, and that appears likely.

Hearings are set for mornings only, beginning at 10 a.m. Following the jump, the day by-day schedule shows the issue at stake in each case.

Tuesday, March 26:
12-144 – Hollingsworth v. Perry – constitutionality of California’s “Proposition 8″ ban on same-sex marriage; also, question of standing to appeal.
Wednesday, March 27:
12-307 — United States v. Windsor – constitutionality of Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act’s benefits limited to married opposite-sex couples; also, question of standing for U.S. government and for House GOP leaders to appeal the case.
