Rhode Island lesbian couple Margaret R. Chambers and Cassandra B. Ormiston are still stuck with one another. You may recall that dyke duo married in Massachusetts back in 2004.

Though former Governor and forever asshole Mitt Romney invalidated the marriage of two people from a state without gay marriage laws, a Massachusetts judge ruled that the couple's marriage mattered, as Rhode Island didn't have a law forbidding gay nups.

Sounds fine and dandy, right? Wrong.

The honeymoon ended soon after it started and the women filed for divorce in Rhode Island. Since they got married in Massachusetts, however, family court Judge Jeremiah S. Jeremiah Jr. doubted his power to heed the ladies' request and RI Supreme Court Gets It From Behind

After a good mulling, the Supreme Court says it can't go on until Jeremiah does a little more of the dirty work:

After due reflection and discussion, we have decided that it would be premature for us to respond to the certified question at this time and that additional proceedings should take place in the Family Court prior to our determination of whether this court should hereafter respond.

Asking a series of questions - including the whether or not the women received a marriage - the Court ordered Jeremiah to produce the documents necessary for further procedure. In response, Jeremiah said, "I think the Supreme Court was right in requesting that information and I’m going to provide it to them. I want to get on this immediately." Well, yeah - you don't exactly fuck with the Supreme Court, even if it is in lil' ol' Rhode Island.

It seems to us that the Court's trying to put the case to rest without really delivering a ruling. Since the Massachusetts court won't hear the case, the Islanders will then have to offer a divorce - but, there can't be a divorce without a marriage, and they'll have no other choice but to put their state's stamp on the marriage in order to dissolve it. But this can't be a one-shot deal - they can't honor these nuptials and refuse them to others. It just wouldn't be just.
