The Supreme Court on Tuesday heard oral arguments in Obergefell v. Hodges, a four-case coalescence of years of debate over the future of same-sex marriage in the United States.
In two-and-a-half hours of arguments, the justices gathered what information they’ll have to issue a ruling on marriage equality as early as June, tackling two questions: first, whether the Constitution requires that states issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, and, second, whether states that do not guarantee marriage equality must recognize same-sex marriage licenses issued by states that do.
