ARKANSAS: State Supreme Court Gives Deadline For Stay Response By Tomorrow

Via the Arkansas Times:
The Arkansas Supreme Court has responded to Attorney General Dustin McDaniel's request of Judge Chris Piazza's ruling overturning the same-sex marriage ban by giving plaintiffs until noon Tuesday to respond. The Supreme Court sent this notice to attorneys: "The Supreme Court requests responses to the State Defendants-Appellants’ petition for emergency stay by noon tomorrow, May 13, 2014. A copy of the petition and partial record are attached for your convenience." It is unclear how quickly the Supreme Court will rule. It normally issues opinions on Thursdays, but in extraordinary cases sometimes issues them immediately.
Twitter sources report that over 100 marriage have taken place so far today in the counties where it is being allowed.
