I have followed this, and whats funny is after the Supreme Court rulings on DOMA and Prop 8 being struck down, there were organizations that approached her (Kathleen Kane our Attorney General) to fight to keep the ban, her response was something to the effect of: She has no intentions to waste the resources of Pa on fighting this, although it is her personal belief that same sex marriages should be allowed, she felt our public resources would be better spent elsewhere!! So very minimally, and without much effort there was some movement, but it was just to bide the time for this PA court ruling in which she was in the "know" of what the end result would be. How sweet it is that Pa residents can sing.......going to the chapel and I'm gonna get married!! And have it recognized as legal!
