Supreme Court justice temporarily blocks gay marriage in Kansas

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 02:55 PM PST

'This Week': Justice Sonia SotomayorSupreme justice on Monday temporarily blocked gay marriage in Kansas a day before it was due to go into effect. Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued an order saying that the court wanted gay marriage advocates to respond to the state's application seeking to put gay marriage on hold. District Court Judge Daniel Crabtree struck down the state's gay marriage ban last week, ruling that it would go into effect on Tuesday at 6 p.m. Eastern Time (2300 GMT) if no other court intervened. Sotomayor's action does not mean the high court will grant the Kansas application.
