Justice Kennedy Puts Gay Marriage on Temporary Hold in Idaho

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy on Wednesday granted a request from Idaho officials by temporarily blocking gay marriages from beginning, following a regional federal appeals court's ruling striking down the state's same-sex marriage ban.

There was some confusion over whether the court's order also affects the ban in Nevada, which was struck down as part of the same 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that invalidated the Idaho ban.

Nevada did not ask the Supreme Court to block the ruling. But officials in Nevada's Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, said on Twitter that the issuance of marriage licenses for same-sex couples, which was due to begin at 1700 EDT, will now be put on hold.

Can three males marry one another?

Can a grandmother marry her granddaughter?

Can a mother marry her two daughters?

If not, why not?

Will the Justices consent to me playing with my own private parts, or blowing my own nose, in private, is what I want to know... Is there any kind of Constitutional basis for these kinds of things? Is it ALLOWED????
