FRANKFORT, KY , March 18, 2014 – Kentucky is shaping up to be new territory in the fight for marriage.

After two weeks of chaos, America 's most powerful court put the brakes on one rogue judge's decision to single-handedly overturn the state's marriage amendment.

Unanimously, the nine U.S. Supreme Court justices agreed that one person shouldn't have the power to create same-sex "marriage" ...
