The Attorney General for Utah has not yet filed a request for stay with any of the Supremes. It might be a few more days before that happens. Apparently, the AG had to seek outside help to properly prepare the request.
I had noted before the things the 10th Circuit must look at when granting a stay. According to a commenter, there is one more that the Supremes consider before a stay is given. The state must show the 10th Circuit abused its discretion when it didn't order a stay. That makes for an interesting scenario: Utah goes to the Supremes and says the 10th Circuit abused its discretion. Then Utah goes to the 10th Circuit to have their case against marriage equality heard. The 10th Circuit is likely to be a bit annoyed, something a lawyer doesn't want.
In the meantime there has been an explosion of marriage licenses being issued in Utah. There were 1,225 issued Dec. 20-26. Who knew there were that many gay people in Utah?
