The Circuit Court of Appeals is the last step before cases are taken to the Supreme Court. The 10th Circuit Court, located in Denver, has just upheld the lower court's declaration that the Oklahoma ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional. This is the same appeals court that also upheld a similar decision about the Utah ban. Both decisions are on hold pending appeal to SCOTUS.
This is the 24th favorable court decision since the June 2013 DOMA decision -- without a single unfavorable decision during that same time.
Two state cases have now made it through the appeals court level. Next stop: SCOTUS.
Momentum continues to build -- and that will undoubtedly influence at least the crucial vote of Anthony Kennedy, the deciding swing vote that we have come to count on.
