The justices, without comment, rejected review of a decision by the Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the Massachusetts Supreme Court did not violate the U.S. Constitution's clause guaranteeing every state a "republican form of government" when it ordered the state to recognize same-sex marriages. Largess v. Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts , 04-420.
