Idaho Gov. Butch Otter issued this statement just now on the 9^th Circuit decision today rejecting the state’s appeal and overturning Idaho’s ban on same-sex marriage:

“Today’s decision by the 9^th Circuit is disappointing, but not unexpected. I will carefully evaluate the opinion, along with yesterday’s surprising decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, and talk with legislative leaders and the Attorney General before determining our path forward. The stay on same-sex marriage in Idaho remains in effect until we are directed otherwise by the 9^th Circuit.”
