Abstract
In the famous thought experiment known as Schrodinger’s Cat, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger illustrated the startling implication of the quantum physics theory that a subatomic particle can exist simultaneously in two states until it is measured. A similar problem arises from what will eventually be the Supreme Court’s decision on the constitutionality of state laws banning same-sex marriage. Following the Tenth Circuit's decision in Kitchen v. Herbert, county officials in Boulder, Colorado disregarded its stay and began issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples. Some assert this violates the rule of law, but the author argues that unlike a decaying subatomic particle, the constitutionality of state same-sex marriage bans is not so indeterminate that we cannot act until hearing from the Supreme Court.
