Ky. governor asks SCOTUS to review marriage case

Attorneys for Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear last week filed a brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a case challenging the state's marriage equality ban

"It is important for Kentucky -- and the country -– that the Court resolve the important question of who has the right to define marriage for a state," the team said in the brief. Kentucky's ban was one of four upheld in a decision by a federal appeals court panel last month.
